Talk:Cattle prod

So they're not just electrical...
Wow, when I originally started this article, I didn't know cattle prod meant "anything used to push cattles." Being a bit of a city slicker ;) I just thought it meant electrical prods. The knowledge I added is still helpful and used, I see (though much cleaned up), but now the article is a lot more accurate. Thanks for that, XWCoyote. -Monk of the highest order 00:31, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Is this a wiki article or an advert for Hot-Shot? 87.81.140.191 16:13, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I removed the link for the "self-charging" prod, as halfbakery.com is just a collection of ideas and it is not an actual product.68.81.113.136 05:42, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

More information, please
So, when were electric cattle prods invented? Have they gotten smaller over the years? I come to Wikipedia expecting to learn these things and all I get is a description of what they are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.147.210.162 (talk) 04:54, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Neutrality
The "Alternatives" segment seems pretty biased, some examples: "Cattle prods are often used because the human handlers are making an assumption that the animals are just "dumb stubborn beasts" that must be forced and punished into compliance." "By studying the psychology of the animals and redesigning the working environment it is possible to handle the animals without the need for brute force and causing pain and suffering to the animal." While an alternatives section would be useful, it should probably be about alternatives in use and maybe something similar to what is there, but what is there now just seems to be slandering those who use cattle prods. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.229.242.64 (talk) 22:57, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

The text mentions that cattle prods are 'an effective torture instrument'. Since when has there ever been an effective instrument of torture, unless you mean effective in inflicting torture? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.109.70.230 (talk) 15:07, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Is the cattle prod used by the Mountie real? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.47.140.30 (talk) 18:07, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
