[edit] Symbolism

In the past horns meant power, in the present, and I can't tell since when and to what extension, horns means cuckoldry in popular metaphora... If anyone knows better, he or she better add to this article...Undead Herle King (talk) 14:28, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Scur

"Scur" redirects here, and yet there is no clue here what "scur" means. (Unsigned comment by 67.169.10.74 20:03, 27 January 2008)

Since added in. --Richard New Forest (talk) 17:35, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Antelope's horn

Antelope's horn(ling yang jiao) is used in traditional chinese medicine for fever. The horn is scraped into paper like stripes with a metal rule(or similar) and boiled in water. --165.21.155.9 23:05, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I added the info to the article.Steve Dufour 03:18, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

This statement is biased, according to whom is this true PETA,etc, etc. Use of animal horns is controversial, especially if the animal was specifically hunted for the horn as a hunting trophy or object of decoration or utility. Some animals are threatened or endangered to reduced populations partially from pressures of such hunting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.129.197.73 (talk) 08:51, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Meese

Meese have antlers, don't they?

Yes, they are members of the deer family. Steve Dufour 03:15, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

It's not hair at all. But every time I delete the bit about it being hair someone puts it back in again. I'll try and find a reference --ChaosSorcerer91 15:30, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
