An improved identification device for animals comprising: a first plate being connected to a sleeve having a passage therein, the first plate having a cap with an insertion opening which opens into the passage, the insertion opening having a diameter smaller than the size of the passage, the cap being connected to the sleeve by means of a shoulder; and a second plate having a tubular post attached thereto, the post having one section larger than the insertion opening and a detachable conical member located at the end of the post spaced from the second plate, the conical member having a base and ending in a point, the base having a diameter at least equal to that of the section of the post which is larger than the insertion opening. A tool for positioning the identification device onto an animal which comprises first and second jaws, the first jaw comprising a rod directed towards the second jaw, the rod being adapted to receive the sleeve, the second jaw comprising a seating adapted to receive the sleeve, the seating having a hole at one end thereof, adapted to align with the passage when the sleeve is inserted in the second jaw, the hole having a diameter smaller than the base of the conical member. The hole is arranged such that the rod can force the conical member through the hole to detach it from the tubular post. A method of attaching the device is further disclosed. |
