DEHORNING
POINTS IN FAVOUR. The subject of the dehorning of cattle interests the meat trade, the stock owner, and the consumer, both from the standpoints of the prevention of cruelty and financially. It is claimed for dehorning— (1) That a herd of cows settles down better after dehorning, thereby increasing the quantity and quality of the milk yield to an appreciable extent. (2) That a large amount of bruising, especially in fat cattle forwarded for slaughter, can be avoided by the practice. (3) That horned cattle inflict unnecessary cruelty upon each other.. (4) And that many fatalities to human beings would be prevented by dehorfiing.
