A claw shearing device including a pair of shearing elements having cutting edges that face one another, a fastener configured to pivotably attach the shearing elements, and an adjustable limiting mechanism connected to the pair of shearing elements. The cutting edges form an orifice for the insertion of a claw of an animal or a pet therebetween, where the maximum size of the orifice is limited by the adjustable limiting mechanism. The device is configured to bring together the shearing elements to cut the claw or nail of the animal or pet at a predetermined length.

A horn growth stunting device (1) comprises a handle (3) within which fuel gas is located in a reservoir having a cylindrical main housing (10) extending from the handle (3). A gas catalytic element (32) is located in a combustion chamber (39) defined by a tubular sub-housing (40) located concentrically in the main housing (10) for converting fuel gas to heat. A hot gas stream generated by the gas catalytic element (32) is directed through a nozzle (55) defined by a distal end (43) of the tubular sub-housing (40) to an open mouth (29) defined by a distal horn bud engaging rim (28) adjacent a distal end (17) of the main housing (10). A periphery (96) of the horn bud (95) is engaged by the horn bud engaging rim (28) of the main housing (10) with a central portion (97) of the horn bud (95) extending into the main housing (10), so that the hot gas stream is delivered to the horn bud (95) through the nozzle (55) for cauterising the horn bud (95). Gases from the hot gas stream deflected by the horn bud (95) are exhausted through an annular exhaust gas passageway (62) defined between the tubular housing (40) and the main housing (10) and in turn through exhaust gas ports (64) extending through the main housing (10).

A caustic paste applicator provides a self-contained adhesive patch that supports a ring of adhesive that is adhered to the calf s skin around the horn bud and an inner spot or dab of caustic paste that is applied over the horn bud to contact the horn bud. The patch shields the caustic paste from spreading and allows the adhesive to be used in conjunction with the caustic paste in a manner which does not cause the patch to lose its stickiness.
