The need for chastisement.

Throughout the long history of slavery, masters have found it necessary to punish their slaves.
Slaves, by their nature, are sullen and, if left unchecked, this can have serious consequences in a master/slave relationship.

A sulky slave can become resentful and this, in turn, can make for a rebellious slave - something no slave-owner wants among his slave herd.

Discipline is necessary for a slave and strict punishment should be part of the slave-owner's armoury for maintaining good order among his livestock. The wise master always punishes a slave for his bad behaviour - even for the most trivial offence - and a session under the whip can work wonders for a slave's demeanour. Under the lash, the slave learns to fear and respect his master. And the slave also learns the boundaries within which it must serve.

Remember, it is better to be cruel than to be kind. A slave learns best through pain!
