Mulesing etc

edit

Firstly: It may help to sign your messages on talk pages, using four "~" marks. Secondly: I removed it because it is discussed earlier in the article under Method:

Products have been approved for pain relief during the procedure, including Tri-Solfen - however the use of pain relief is not currently required by Australian industry practices. The registration makes the product available for use by both veterinarians, and sheep industry employees such as mulesing contractors and graziers

Hope this explains my edit better than the edit comment does, but I thought "copyedit - →Controversy - - pain relief is mentioned in detail in - →method -.) was sufficient.

Garrie 05:00, 23 January 2007 (UTC) By the way - I found it quite unusual that you followed your reference, with a citation request |here.Garrie 05:03, 23 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

The reference I found for tri-solfen is in the article, I'm pretty sure I didn't contradict it. AFAIK, pain relief is permitted but not required (so probably rarely used?)Garrie 22:15, 23 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
BTW - editors don't normally delete their previous entries on talk pages. Conversations are easier to follow if the text is just left there and you append new entries underneath. The user who owns the talk page will archive it if it gets too long.Garrie 22:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Regarding the registration etc of tri-sulfen - you're much more of a subject-matter expert on that than I, looking at your user page. BUT make sure you cite your source to the registration of products and what that actually means for people undertaking mulesing, because that's what the article is about. ie answer the question : If I want to do mulesing with pain relief what options to I have? If you need help with citation etc - first find the references you need. If you need help marking the reference up I'll happily assist, or point you to the resources so you can do it yourself.Garrie 01:23, 24 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
