What is another word for dehorn?
Pronunciation: [dˈɛhɔːn] (IPA) 
Dehorning is a brutal process in which the horns of an animal are removed. However, sometimes it becomes necessary to dehorn an animal to prevent possible accidents or to manage aggressive behavior. The word dehorn is sometimes replaced with other related words such as debud, debone, de-antler, or uncap. All these words imply the removal of an important part of an animal's anatomy, which can be painful and uncomfortable, so it must be done with care to avoid injuring the animal. No matter which term is used, dehorning is always a controversial topic, and animal welfare advocates stress the importance of finding alternative solutions to manage livestock.
