But a month later, the sperm that remained in the vial during castration no longer exists. Continue reading

Different peoples established control over animals differently. But in most cases, these were all kinds of strict devices – mouthpieces, spurs, pilars and whips, which made it possible in a short time to break the resistance of the animal and force it to submit to the will of man.
