Castration of a mature donkey

Castration using the proper ligation method. Older males donkeys can bleed to death after a castration if the blood vessels are not properly tied off.

I cannot imagine the fate of those who do perpetrate such agony upon the innocent. Does an animal or a human feel no pain because they haven't the words or voice to scream it? Is it not evident by the panting, the stiffening of the legs as the Henderson tool is applied, that this poor little donkey is suffering great pain?

People who operate on animals with no anesthesia are the vilest of the vile. I am ashamed to be the same species. You lack the compassion gene. You will get your due.

This music is just not the right kind of music to be playing.

You can be very sure that that donkey was well sedated when this was done.  With only one leg restrained, there is NO WAY that the job could have been done if the donkey had been only lightly sedated. He'd have exploded!

Fuwokao: This is not my video, so I don't know how your angry comment ended up on my channel. For the record, I am not opposed to gelding as long as it is done with sedative and some help with pain. What is your big thing about showing people "who's the boss"? I don't get why you are so hostile. — Humane Observer

Why don't you buy us anethesia instead of bitching over youtube? We farmers have to cut cost to earn a living, It's easier to be a douchbag shouting non-sense than really living on farms to see how lifes were. Btw, it happened to every livestock you've ever eaten, unless your a vegan, otherwise, you are simply the collaborator of animal's misery.

We farmers should strike to starve these hypocrite city folks and to demonstrate them who's the boss.

You know I have never done the ligation thing but I think I'll do that in the spring.. I am curious and I think I'll ask one of my vet friends, since the scrotum isn't sewed back up, if a sterile elastrator band or similar sterile band could be used proximal to the emasculator instead of doing the ligation with a needle and threat.. It sure looks like it beats having to sit there holding the emasculator on each testicle for 20 minutes, especially when we try to do about a dozen horses..

Folks, if that donkey wasn't sedated, he would be dangerous to handle. Generally, equine patients under similar circumstances are dosed with a couple of different tranquilizers before they are handleable and safe to work on. Because you didn't see the administration of a sedative doesn't mean that it's not there. Plus, they give the antibiotic right in front of us. Generally, the vet has already checked out the little guy and probably gave some other preventative shots, as well. Great job!
