A northern Ohio man is accused of using a cattle prod to discipline his two young children, authorities said.
Robert Bores, 34, of Florence Township, was arrested and faces three felony counts of domestic violence and three counts of child endangering, WKYC-TV reported. The children were 7 and 8 years old.
My boss was threatening to use one on several workers. I brought mine in. By the end of the day everyone there had been zapped. 3000 volts, zero amps. Hurts like hell but does no damage. Are they gonna now go after every cop who tazzes somebody?
There was a time when we gathered up a half dozen cattle prods so we could have a war in the barn. When you hit a cow with a prod, it jumps and shits at the same time - when you hit your friend with a prod (we were all 9 to 11) he shits and passes out. We thought he was dead, so we all went home with the agreement nobody would say anything. The phone call to my parents beat me by about ten minutes, which wasn't nearly long enough for them to calm down.
Yes, perfectly normal for pigs and cattle, but don't use it on kids and dogs. Also beef is very yummy, but of course don't eat horse. That would be wrong.
Was persuading a big ol' sow to ambulate to a boar pen so they could "service" each other. Narrow aisle (so they can't turn around)...(some still could), and she decides to reverse. ZZzzAAaap! Right into the prod I was applying to halt her rear momentum. She must have been of French stock, for she had better reverse gears than forward, and she backed that "tick,ticking, zapper right into my firmly planted legs. Hilarity ensued (I'm sure 28 years ago it wasn't funny) Lit us both up, we're both backing up as fast as we can, she's faster. Didn't ride the lightning, but I sure danced to a high voltage transformer. Pain and spasms, Don't use these on children, let them use "prods" on that guy. "I'd buy that for a dollar"
I raised two rambunctious boys out on my spread. Thought crossed my mind once or twice.
ReplyDeleteKidding, of course, but there were times...
We have an acronym here in SC - "GBTO". Well deserved.
ReplyDeletePerfect title.
ReplyDeleteAs a dad and custodial uncle of 4 boys... I can understand the temptation. I wouldn't, but oh some times I would like to.

DeleteIn this case the punishment should definetly fit the crime
