For the second time this year, I've ripped a calf's ear trying to tag it. I hate having to tag new born calves. It's horrible that your first interaction with a young creature is to hurt it; and it feels dreadful to interrupt the mother-calf bonding in such a way. I can't believe this is either a humane or a justifiable practice.
Still, it is done, and the tissue sample is taken.
@simon_brooke I became a vegetarian more than forty years ago as a result of what I saw during my veterinary training. I find this disturbing, so I’m afraid I’m going to have to unfollow.
