A process is disclosed to castrate large mature animals by ligation. A tool for accomplishing the process provides a handle with an elongate body supportin a tightening rod that is moved along the body. The forward body portion defines an orifice that supports a grommet through which elastomeric surgical tubing is inserted with a forwardly extending loop. The rearward portions of the tubing are releasably engaged in the tightening structure which is moved to create tension upon the looped portion and any animal body part carried within that loop. The tool body provides crimping structure that crimps a grommet about the ends of the tensioned surgical tube to fasten it when properly positioned.
