They said they were taking him to be gelded, why couldn't they say castrated because gelding is when a male horse gets castrated

1960's sensibilities. Gelding doesn't sound as bad.

Tbf, the apes probably seen it as Taylor was an animal, so was a horse and the procedure was of the same nature.
If those pen pushers up at city hall don't like it,well, they swivel on this middle digit!

Good point Alan! Interesting how we use other words such as gelding or spading or neutering when referring to animals. I wonder how it would have been if Bob Barker ended every episode of the Price is Right with "Remember to castrate your pet".
