For those who don't know, disbudding is the name for destroying the horn cells of baby sheep, goats, and cows so that they will never grow horns. It's extremely widespread in the ag industry and typically done with hot irons or caustic chemicals. thehumaneleague.org/article/disb...

Disbudding = Mutilation 👺

Even with pain relief you can clearly see it hurts.

Stop supporting abuse torture and mutilation.

#LiveVegan do no harm 🙏

🌱For #SixOnSaturday, some of the 18 exhibition Chrysanthemums I did NOT grow to perfection!😅 In this phase of trial, chose earliest blooming from King's Mums - in Chicagoland must be mindful of hard freeze date.🥶 Then grew unpinched w/no disbudding to observe. In 2026 will train & display.😎

Dehorning #dairy calves by disbudding them with a hot iron 👺Even with anesthesia it is animal abuse and mutilation. Animal Exploitation = Animal Abuse #EndAnimalExploitation #DitchDairy #LiveVegan the only justifiable way ✌️

Disbudding is #torture & #mutilation 👺Animal agriculture is a bloody torture and murder industry. Without any exception in any country every commercial animal farm is complicit to the abuse of animals. When you buy and consume their products you are complicit too. #LiveVegan don’t abuse animals 🙏

Mutilation is standard practice in most parts of animal fHarming .. often without anesthesia 👺Disbudding a #dairy calf with a red hot rod to avoid growing horns. #DairyIsScary #DitchDairy 🌱#LiveVegan avoid others to suffer for you 🙏📍#UK

Shaving and chemical disbudding so horns will not grow.

It still is mutilation 👺

It makes their #dairy slaves easier to handle.

🌱ALL THAT AND MORE: AA (10"+) Formal Decorative (FD) Dahlia 'Vera Seyfang' (Baynes, 1958) is a classic Dinnerplate giant. Though kinda floofy & irregular 😅 for an FD, what she lacks in precision she makes up for in Largest in Show awards - with care & disbudding can push to 14" across. Asteraceae

The kidnapped and incarcerated calf is rudely taken from the plastic prison cell 👺

Grabbed by the ears, thrown to the ground.

Now he is sitting on the poor tittle calf.

Mutilating disbudding without pain relief.

#Dairy fHarmers are animal abusers.

#DitchDairy stop your abuse 🙏

Mercy For Animals investigation reveals "disbudding" with caustic paste—and no anesthesia. Duct tape is often over the burns, leaving babies in pain for weeks. 💔 This is standard in factory farming.

I like incorporating echos of real life practices into my world about sapient goat people and imagining how these practices might arise without human involvement. Freeze branding and disbudding are the main ones I focus on because they both have very strong cultural and social implications in story.

I have a whole plotline about disbudding in my storyline 😭 I have a lot of conflicting feelings about it from both husbandry and behavioral standpoints.

🔥 This is called 'disbudding.'

A hot iron pressed to a calf's skull. Horn buds burned away before they can grow.
This isn't abuse footage. This is standard dairy industry practice.

You can help stop this. Ditch dairy! ❌ 🥛

This is what happens after "disbudding"—a procedure where a caustic chemical paste is applied to a baby calf's head to stop their horns from growing. The duct tape is used to hold it down, but here is the worst part: it’s often done with zero pain relief or anesthesia. 💔
