LAMBCHOPS ( THE LAMB DEVIL)
today i met up with kit and ruth robins. kits real first name was chris, but, he changed it to kit after being heckled his whole life for being friends with poop bear and piglet.
anywho, they needed help on there lifestyle block with the lambs. i felt like getting some more culture under my belt and cruz'd over to there house with jane.
kit is a stand up doode. with talked politics, philosophy, and quality of life. then we headed into the paddock to round up the lambs. cute little things. running, jumping, playing, sucking teet, you get the picture. kit showed me how to pic the lil thangs up and hold'm while his wife did this horrific procedure to them. more horrific is what we were doin to the boys.
all of the lambs were have their tails removed and the boys were having the pleasure of getting there testies tied off.
now, i'm not a fan to much of inflicting pain on animals really, not unless i'm gonna grind'm.
so, i grab the first lamb. it's a female. i'm instructed to hold the front legs in one hand and the back legs with another and sit the lamb upright on the fencepost. at this time, the lamb is bucking and squirming, bhhaaaaing in my ear, and the mom is yelling at me too while i have its child in my unbreakable grasp. so ruth, with an inverted pair of pliers and one industrial rubber lband slides it over the tail and tells me to let the lamb go. the lamb is bhhhhaaaing so loud, and dragging its arse all over the grass.
the next one i grab is a boy. ruth grabs 2 rubberbands. i got a very bizzare feeling in the bottom of my scrodum. she grab the boys balls, looks at me and says "i hate doin this to the boys" and slides a industrial band around his nuts. i was stare'n into his eyes and he into mine. i felt terrible. then she slid the other around his tail. i think this is the only time in life where a male gets the major shit end of the stick. otherwise life as a male is pretty maintenance free. ruth tells me to let'm go. i set him down on his back and he just laid there wondering what the hell just happened. a few minutes later, he stood up and walked to the top of this hill, check the view, and just capsized and rolled down the hill. absolutely horrible to watch, and i had 16 more to do.
this is a picture of the "devil lamb", the remover of balls.
