[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 397462, member: 1258"] I read an article that Europe is talking about banning banding all together because they have decided that it is cruelty to animals. Maybe your husbands ex read the same thing. They are still allowing the knife and bardizzos (sp?) for now although the goal is to make castration done under anesthetic only. Over there they have agreed that banding is the cruelest form of castration. We have only banded one calf the rest have been burdizzo. From what I could tell the banded one took longer to get over the experience but they may have just been him. I don't have enough experience with it to say either way. There's a lot of people out there that treat their animals well that use the band method. As far as his ex goes, you knew he had an ex when you married him. I doubt it is a new thing that she is getting in his (and therefore your) business. It just one of the problems of divorce. You can tell her that you don't want her advice but I doubt it will do any good. I do feel for you, unless you were the cause of his first marriage splitting up of course. ;-) They are your cattle legally and since the US law still says you can band them then band them if you want to. Just because she tells you her advice doesn't mean you have to listen to it. [/QUOTE]
