'Bewildered': A frightened red deer, his eyes bulging with terror, is held in place by a man's foot on his head to hold him in place for cutting
It is a little known, but barbaric practice which involves frightened Maral stags being locked into a brutal torture chamber, tied up and having their antlers hacked off - all to make treatments to boost the sexual performance of middle-aged men.
Shocking new pictures show the terror and anguish of the Siberian red deer as an electric saw is used with no anaesthetic to cut off their magnificent velvet antlers, which are made from fast-growing bone.
Russians of both sexes bathe in the blood at farms where the deer are bred in the remote Altai Mountains, convinced it is a testosterone-driven elixir. 

'Shell-shocked': The stag closes its eyes as its velvet antlers are brutally sawn off. They are hacked off without the use of anaesthetic
Barbaric: Blood drips down the stocks after both antlers are removed by farmers in Siberia who harvest them as they are supposed to help boost flagging libidos in middle-aged and elderly men
Awaiting their fate: A pair of stags waiting to be herded into the cutting room. One farm hand say the pain of antler removal is 'equal in feeling to your hand being chopped off', but other workers say it is more like nails being cut
Grim: 'Imagine five or ten metres of fabric, soaked in blood - this is what we get from antlers,' says Sergey Paskukhov, husband of Larisa Pastukhova, who runs a guest house offering blood baths to health tourists
