At nightfall, after fun, the troops
and officers spend hours talking about the beating. Leaving the animal
unconscious, hanging like a ham, for at least an hour, with sweat, urine and
blood running down the body, leaving the wounds is part of the tradition.
Carefully examining each scar, each open wound trying to remember which lash
that opened it is a great learning experience. Learning the art of whipping
requires practice, training and dedication.
Never leave the animal hanging for many hours. The tied wrists and the
position prevent blood circulation in the hands. Once, out of carelessness or
malice, they left the beast hanging all night. The next day they had to amputate both hands.
