More ebay weirdness -- ANCIENT SPIKED FARM ANIMAL TORTURE INSTRUMENT

If the little fellow who was beheaded by the kris (ahem) or Bruise's King of the Potato People had this little gem.....:rolleyes:
 
"We don't understand the logic in this as in doing so, you are arming the cow with a potential leathal weapon. This may check out as the number of dairy farmers has been diminishing after all."

There ARE no dairy "accidents." :eek:

Just remember: if God had meant for cattle to be armed, he'd have put horns on their heads. ;)
 
Do we know it's a torture devise and not a training device? I know..dumb question...train the animal and if he makes a wrong move, bumps into something, he's dead or injured.

In Wisconsin, that would be a "dead" cow.

I can not figure this one out.

Best guesses, anyone?

My uncle that owned the dairy farm had a couple of devices like this. They were put around the animal's neck to keep it from licking an injury where medicine had been applied, not a torture device at all.

Thank you for that information. I was very curious. It looks like the cow would really injure herself with those spikes though, Maybe they don't move quickly enough, feel the pain and stop??

Some of the cows love to scratch on a barbed wire fence, that's when you know for sure whether or not you put it up properly.;)
Bill it's been many a year ago since I saw such a thing and my memory isn't what it once was. Knowing my uncle he wouldn't have put anything on an animal that was gonna injure it.
It was only after a huge Palomino named "Wonder" bit Uncle Gene's elbow damned near in two that Palomino ceased to be such a "Wonder" and just simply became "wonder" as in "It's a 'wonder' Uncle Gene didn't kill your arse for dog food instead of merely taking your testicles.":D
Wonder never offered to bite anyone else ever again and was my favorite horse to ride when we got to go out for a weekend although I always made sure to keep him away from any wire.
 
I thot such a thing about the old medieval single-spike spurs used by knights and such. they looked like damn stilettoes. Apparently it was just enough to get hte horse's attention.
