as opposed to killing the thing

they don't come with tracking chips preinstalled. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 09:41 28
- Couldn't they figure out a way to shoot one with the tranq? - Krusty Oct 19, 09:45 27
  - right, with a chip on it. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 09:45 25
    - The dart falls off once the animal freaks. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 09:46 24
      - Sure but I'm thinking we could invent a better way to avoid killing them in the future. - Krusty Oct 19, 09:50 12
        
        right, nevermind that they can track a shark thousands of miles. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 09:54 8
        
        with specialized equipment that probably cost a ton of money. I'm sure all local pd's have that type of stuff just lying around -- nm - decline Oct 19, 10:00 1
        
        agreed. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 10:01
        
        A shark they've tagged... - Will Hunting Oct 19, 09:55 5
        
        Just the ones we can shoot with a tranq gun. - Krusty Oct 19, 09:57
        
        how do you think they tag them? - ghouly Oct 19, 09:55 3
        
        They typically sedate them, grab their fins, stamp the tag into them and then let them go. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 09:58 2
        
        I microchip that is small and sttached to the dart, that detatches under the skin. - ghouly Oct 19, 10:01 1
        
        If I haven't posted it (I can't remember if I hit submit) i'd imagine western places might have better armed/prepped Animal Controls... - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:03
        
        Don't let them be treated like house cats for people with severe mental issues. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 09:52 1
        
        My point is a general one. If at anytime in the future someone is hunting down a wild animal - Krusty Oct 19, 09:54
        
        dont' let people keep them as pets. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 09:51

        Comedy. -- nm - con_carnage Oct 19, 09:52
        
        Who said they know better? We're discussing a way to possibly do it in - Krusty Oct 19, 09:51 1
        
        shut up Krusty, you are wrong, leave it to the experts!!!! nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 09:53
        
        I swear to god, I am gonna mark this post forever. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 09:48 4
        
        I feel generous today. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 09:49 3
        
        cool, give me head then. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 09:49 2
        
        can I use a tranq dart? -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 09:50 1
        
        whatever makes it slide in easier for you. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 09:54

Not in the dark. Maybe if all your hunters and trackers are equipped with night vision, but that isn't the case. - TWuG Oct 19, 09:37 1
- not to mention, lions, tigers, bears, and monkeys are all able to climb trees. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 09:43
I've had to track a wounded deer as it was getting dark. It's almost impossible. I can't imagine trying to track a 600 lb cat that's willing to kill - decline Oct 19, 09:34
