An apparatus for removal of an animal body part, the apparatus comprising a ligature applicator, the ligature applicator being configured to move a ligature between a first, extended state in which the ligature can be passed over the animal body part to a selected application position, and a second, retracted state in which the ligature applies a compressive force at the application position to restrict blood flow in the animal body part; and a substance applicator, the substance applicator being configured to deliver a substance to the animal.

An EMS garment for enclosing a body part of a trainee during an EMS training session includes textile area sections and EMS electrodes for transmitting EMS stimuli from a connected EMS stimulation generating unit to the body part, which EMS electrodes are each connected to one of the textile area sections and are each formed as a pad or a textile structure section having an electrically conductive layer so as to flexibly snuggle to the body part. The textile area sections facing the front side and the rear side are connected along a height direction by stretch sections facing both flanks of the body part, each of which consists of a rubber-elastic, elastomeric solid material.
