They have nerves; they can feel pain just fine. There's not a lot they can say or do about it, though.

I think cutting off the blood flow kills the nerves before it can hurt or something like that. I've heard about this being pretty common from vets. Kids are always putting rubber bands on pets and they end up having to amputate things that have become necrotic. But it's usually the smell that gives it away when it starts rotting because the animal never complains since it sin't painful.

That makes absolute sense and is what I understood to happen. Besides, when the banding is happening the bull calf has a huge grin on his face!!! [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]
