How do u kill a tail with lidocane???? Or alchol whats the difference someone told me like everclear or something will kill it for good??? and lidocane just for a few hours
Is this a serious question?
I guess I would have to ask who told you about it or did you just hear about it? I am not sure why you would want to inject any forgein substance in an animal seeing how you are not a vet and do not know how the animal may react. I would say work with the calf more and as many have said prior they are cattle they are going to swish their tails.
The zip tie on a tail if applied right does not hurt them one bit. Small amount of pressure is all you have to apply. No one said you have to cut the circulation off. If you are only putting it on to show and groom a couple of hours is not going to cause his tail to fall off.
Agreed, I have put a zip tie on my finger for a couple of hours and won $20, if that is so cruel, then we should also so local blocking before we dehorn anything or castrate anything.
