wut just happened
Would you like a sliced cooked sausage?
that would be divine.
second? lol…
that’s something i wouldn’t miss!
I must admit…
I’d miss it.
FAKE!! Totally shoped.
actually…. no.
Yeah, really. It’s a vet hospital. Yes, they do castrate. It’s what makes a stud into a gelding. . . and meanwhile CALMS THEM THE CRAP DOWN. . . or so I understand
This is actually just outside Edmonton Alberta in a teeny little hick town. I almost died laughing when we drove past it
I’d like one castration, please. And make it snappy!
During my last castration, my vet kind of dropped the ball on me.
Come again?
He was feeling a little testy that day
but at least he was ballsy enough to do it
I don’t see where’s the fail here. I mean, it’s a veterinary hospital… it’s a funny sign, but I can understand the context.
me neither.
3rd-7th is not quite a week, thats a fail. Still funny none the less, i mean youd think theyd perform them all year round without celebration.
Fail.
It’s a work week, not a whole week. Most vet hospitals are not open during the weekends and if they’re open on Saturday, they’re not doing surgeries.
Actually, I think this is a WIN. What better way to get the point across to neuter your pet. The shelters are overrun enough.
They ARE talking about horses, hence the sign. How many shelters do you know overrun with horses?
I do agree with you though. Everyone should get their pets spayed and neutered.
Look up gelding. Most male horses, cattle and sheep are castrated.
They’re probably offering lower prices and raising awareness too.
Hell the company I work for sets special summer prices for routine ops like neuters and spays xD A SUMMER OF CASTRATIONS
Castration week. Don’t miss it. Dude, what is there what you can’t understand?
We’re gonna have so much Fun
How is May 4-7 a “week?”
It’s not, but the sign says May 3-7, which is a business week. (Monday through Friday)
Good thing too, Ange. Having your nuts cut out on a weekend sucks royally.
wtf, in what kind of country the castration is made only on particular weeks? Where I live I can bring my pet for castration whenever I want.
Ohh you bet. In fact I had my dog done twice, just cause I could.
From the phone number, the US, specifically Alberta. But this doesn’t mean they don’t do castrations the rest of the year, but vet practices will often do weeks where they reduce prices on castrations or vaccinations to encourage people to opt for it who would something not do so because of the expense. In the case of vaccinations these are often government funded because it is in their best interest to ensure that diseases don’t spread out of the vaccination cost being inaccessible to some people.
Geography FAIL. That’s the area code for northern Alberta alright, but Alberta’s a Canadian province and not a US state. I know it was an honest mistake, but please. We Canadians are very sensitive to the difference.
I’m not sure I consider it an “honest mistake” even if you don’t know Canada, you shouldn’t mix it up with Alabama
But early may is perfect castrations season and it makes great business sense to have all your vets concentrate on them for a week, spring is very busy!
As Bob Barker always said: Remember to always spay and neuter your pets! (i think it was him… some old game show host)
Indeed!
This sign is actually located about 20 mins east outside of Edmonton
Fail, Alberta is in Canada, not the US. and yes it is from Alberta
Good morning fellow failers. I was on the ugliest tattoo site and wandered into some quite disturbing stuff. Anyone have 2 gallons of brain bleach? oh and could somebody put on a pot of coffee? I would be most appreciative.
G’day iDunno
Sure. You will be well looked after here.
Just sit back and relax. First we’ll need to shave the area.
Snip, snip snip…
Wait, you were asking for a castration, right?
Looks like they got more than they bargained for.
You’re starting to get worse than those firsters >.>
I’ll have a castration, and make it snippy.
Hmm… dont really think its a fail ^^ VetBizz Done right
i hope the castrate an horse pilot flying over alamo
OMG! You guys are crazy xD Haha
Aarrrgh this is down the road from me, I may have to take a vacation that week and go somewhere else, I’ll take my dog with me too
Please. This is Edmonton. All the guys are already neutered.
oh buh. I lived there for six years and still have mine.
oh, nm, i just found out they make prosthetic ones. damn.
Being this is Alberta, I got a feeling this is for calves. There gonna make those unlucky fellers future AAA Alberta beef!
There are a whole lot of people out there I wish wouldn’t miss castration week.
People cant read that it says Veterinary?
780 is the area code for Northern Alberta.
If Canadians call it what it is, instead of using the euphemism “neuter”, there is no fail.
Note also the banner of the sign, it implies they specialize in equestrian practice. This operation has always been more frequent in horses than in other animals, since a stallion can be a powerful, unruly beast.
Canadians, like most horse people, call it “gelding” or “castrating.” Or sometimes “brain surgery.”
I am a veterinary technician in a mixed-animal practice, that means we see household pets and farm animals. Castration is the proper medical term, and is often the term used when referring to cattle and horses. Sometimes the word “gelding” is used in horses. “Neutering” is a polite euphemism used in companion animal medicine (household pets). Whichever way you slice it (pun intended), it’s the surgical removal of the testicles. This vet’s running a special on the surgery this particular work week. Bob barker would be proud.
Bonus trivial fact: The surgical instrument used to castrate horses is called an emasculator.
I’m 14, uneducated, and have no idea what a *looks at picture* “castration” is. Someone please save me.
hahahaha xD
Two words: Testicle Festival!
MMM PRAIRIE OYSTERS
Sooo… any special offers during that week? Half off?
69th reply!
I like
Haha sorry guys, it wasn’t really fail for me. Working in the veterinary field has ruined the lulz with inside knowledge yet again :c
Srsly spay and neuter your pets though xD. Help prevent overpopulation, mammary/testicular cancer and womb infections. Hooray!
This is actually not a fail at all.
What this vet clinic is doing by offering a castration clinic is a very helpful service. By assisting the people in the area with perhaps a low cost way to get their horses gelded cuts down on the amount of unwanted foals that eventually end up with the meat man and being inhumanely slaughtered for human consumption. Kudos for this practice!!!!
will it prevent me from having more kids?
This place looks pretty rural and people usually use the word “castrating” when they’re talking about farm animals like cattle, sheep, etc. People usually say “geld” when talking about horses, but some people still say castrate….so I think this is more of an understanding fail.
I know Shark Week is popular, but I don’t think this will be a successful follow on.
Please castrate my left ball, i want a boy.
Maybe Justin bieber might show up
The best part is that I’ve sent my horse to West Wind before. It’s like 40 minutes from where I live.
So i’m not sure how this is a Fail since it is advertising a service for a horse vet clinic. They call it gelding the stallions so that there isn’t any unwanted foals.
no real redneck needs a reminder about local castration-fest
I think the worst crime here is the terminology which implies human castration not ‘fixing’ or ‘neutering’ or ‘spaying’ which is much more correct, and doesn’t imply slicing off vital human parts.
Except that castration is more commonly used to describe animal sterilisation then human. If you said castrate to any farmer or person involved in equestrian events they would assume farm animal not human. Just because your vocabulary is a fail doesn’t make this usage a fail.
Is that field behind it a field of chopped-off man parts?
This seems more like a fail for the 90% of the people out there who can’t seem to connect the castration with the Vet clinic for horses.
or do i…… :\
During my last castration, my vet kind of dropped the ball on me.
