Part of me likes this, but it seems cruel and unusual. It's only a matter of time before the punishment is applied to someone who was wrongly convicted.
I agree. I heard someone say yesterday that it reminds them of sharia law ….that is…cut the hand off of a thief. I’m not a fan. Just lock them up for life with no chance at all for parole.
Neither cruel or unusual. I don't have any truck with banding, but castration is a well-known, safe, and easy procedure with little downtime.
Go out to a ranch during branding.
You're right we usually castrate livestock, but humans would be smaller and much easier than a young bull or even a saddle horse. Besides, you get to sedate humans.

Life = about six weeks in prison, for pedophile rapists...tops
That's the type of shit that REALLLY needs fixing.
I know! Six weeks is WAAAYYY too long.
I agree. Don't put power like this in the hands of the government.
The govt already has the power of the death penalty, which is what should be used on child-raping scum in the first place.

Yeah, well we don't "usually" do that to humans, so I'm going to have to disagree.
