I think Dehorning/ Debudding is CRAZY

[Guest guest]

God gave ruminant animals horns so they can draw down the cosmic energy

they need to be vital. They also use their horns as weapons to protect their

young (while you are sawing logs in your warm bed) and to help determine

alpha dominance.

When you go to a BIODYNAMIC farm (they ALL have to have livestock as do

all SUSTAINABLE farms) you will see GREEN COPPER residue that is

painted onto the horns to facilitate the conductance of energy. Go that way

instead of depriving your beautiful beasts.

I think all arguments for dehorning, debeaking (poultry), tail docking (pigs,

dogs), cropping ears, tail-bobbing (horses), declawing (cats, wild animals),

de-fanging (wild animals in captivity), nose-ringing (hogs) and other

mutilations (I hate big floppy ear tags and notching too) are not only an

excuse for poor management, they are a bad habit holdover from a

Capricornian era, and, more importantly, they are a crime against MOTHER

NATURE.

There are all sorts of other energy collectors on farms that bring energy into

the land and when they don't exist you can build them (that's what all those

cylindrical towers are in Ireland). You can now buy new energy towers (see

acresusa.com) and install them yourself. Like magic, but they work for

Muggles too!

Back to horns, one of the main principles of BIODYNAMIC farming involves

burying special items such as manure, ground crystal quartz, moss and other

substances in a cow horn and pointing it towards the moon for a season. It's

highly technical and scientific. The resulting " prep " can be used to

homeopathically fertilize the land and plants. BD farmers will travel all over

to

get the right kind of horn (size, color, angle, and thickness) for prep making.

Cosmic energy is also part of what holds a plant vertical (in addition to

mineral ratios). A wheat straw is 400:1 height to width, a stand-alone ratio no

man can reproduce in a structure such as an antenna or building without guy

wires. Think about it, and factor in wind, storms, and rain.

When procedures such as dehorning (and so many more) that denature

animal's vitality are blythly used on the farm, then one gets into questions

like

my e-mail is now full of: " Hey, whattaya got for (fill-in-the-blank)

parasite? " .

Cripes, if you don't want horns, get a polled breed! Let's farm for real.

PS The only " dehorning " work I've done in the last decades is correcting

BOTCHED dehorning jobs (horn remnants growing back into the head) As I

said yesterday, I've seen rednecks and hillbillies (Hey,give me a break, these

are my relatives too!!) whacking off horns of ADULT animals with all sorts of

crude tools that make the swiftness of a chainsaw look HUMANE! I always

use LOCAL ANESTHETIC and proper restraint when correcting botch jobs

and that's all the anesthetic I ever need, no sedatives even. I also do

acupressure and T-Tellington Touch.
