[QUOTE="unlacedgecko, post: 8629329, member: 19130"] 😂😂😂 Yes. The whole thing is a conspiracy I have put together using my immense political influence. I'm doing this because I massively stand to gain by...? I'm non RT and not a member of NFU or any society, not even easycare breed society. I'm not affiliated with clipfitter or numbnutz. In my long and glorious career as a professional fly grazer I've sold exactly 200 home bred breeding animals. They were all females and were tail docked. Part of my income is day contracting, which can often include castrating and tail docking lambs, as well as castrating and disbudding calves. I saw the article on Facebook and post it here for discussion. My comments are pure conjecture and opinion based on what I perceive to be societal direction of travel. I don't want to see rubber ring castration limited or banned. I think it should be legal up till 12 weeks. However, it's not. And the trend is for these regulations to become more stringent, not less. So I'm doing 2 things. 1) planning my systems for the day when it is banned. 2) lobbying politicians to avoid a ban. If you would like to do the same I'd urge you to email your local MP. Their details can be found here. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theyworkforyou.com/[/URL] Must dash, I'm on the early train to London for a private audience with the DEFRA secretary. Then it's off to Liverpool for a BVA conference. The jet setting life of a "Leading Farmer" 🙄🤣 [/QUOTE]
