      Or tinships? My only guess is castration and cauterizing the wound, but that’s an extreme shot in the dark.

        It was a pretty crude way to castrate. It was done that way a few hundred years back. I’ve heard that expression before. The first time was when I was really young. The tin snips were very sharp the and the turpentine sealed the wound by chemically burning the flesh. I’m pretty sure its what they did to some pigs when I was very young. I know the pigs made a lot of noise.

      Burning shit down to the ground. There have been many attacks on abortion clinics that included attempts and/or successful burning.
