castrators
Those who neuter
Castrators are those who castrate—removing the testicles of animals or, less commonly, humans.
The term usually refers to people who perform the procedure on livestock as part of animal husbandry: The castrators worked through the herd of young bulls.
It can also denote surgical instruments designed for the task.
