Most commonly used in the context of animal breeding and agriculture to manage animal temperament and population.

Animal Husbandry

Gelding an animal often leads to calmer behavior, making the animal easier to handle.

Behavioral Change

The term 'geld' is rarely used for domestic pets; 'neuter' is more common.

Typically refers to actions taken by authorities, such as governments or regulatory bodies.

To geld in this context means imposing financial penalties, not physical harm.

Used when fines stem from non-compliance or legal oversights.
