In response to "Here's why you kill over capture when it's a populated area." by TWuG

my thing is, if you can see to shoot them with a gun, you can see to shoot them with a tranq.

and, yes, i know, they said they'd wander off and hide, but once you've *spotted them* and they are *tranquilized*, you can shoot them with another 8 tranquilizers if you have to.

Responses:

I don't think tranq guns have nearly the range of rifles either. I hate what's happened and tend to agree with you, but I have a hard time judging - pmb Oct 19, 14:14
We all agree it was pointless. We just disagree on who's at fault. I'm blaming the fucktard, you're blaming law enforcement. - TWuG Oct 19, 14:05 15

  - if the driveway to get to the property was 2-3 football fields long, and the video - ghouly Oct 19, 14:14 13
    - The property was less than 4 miles from the center of Zanesville which has a population of 25,000. -- nm - TWuG Oct 19, 14:22 5
      - for animals off the property, sure, shoot and kill them. - ghouly Oct 19, 14:28 4
        
        the drugs take 15-20 minutes to take effect, even with a good hit. it's not like in the movies. -- (link) - loosilu Oct 19, 14:36 2
        
        and here's a tiger in India that evaded capture for several months, killed 8 people, and was finally trapped after being darted three times. -- (link) - loosilu Oct 19, 14:40 1

        The cops were outnumbered by animals. Some were free but still clustered. You don't give them a chance to spread out. - TWuG Oct 19, 14:35
    - Why do they have to say that? - Will Hunting Oct 19, 14:15 6
      - they are not gonna throw the police under the bus. nbm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 14:16 5
        
        I don't think they would be throwing them under the bus if they didn't agree with this; they'd be expertly saying what should happen - Will Hunting Oct 19, 14:18 4
        
        I've met Hanna and heard him speak in person of his love for animals. If the cops were wrong he'd be telling you how. -- nm - TWuG Oct 19, 14:24 3
        
        yes, but the clip I saw of him, he did not look particularily informed of the details. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 14:29 2
        
        Have you ever seen him on Letterman? The guy is just like that. :-) -- nm - TWuG Oct 19, 14:36 1
        
        yes, I have, and he looked like a guy who just got there and was briefed 10 minutes ago to the details. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 14:41
but the first responders did not have tranqs. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 14:03 24
- The truck of backup officers that arrived soon after didn't bring tranqs; they brought assault rifles. -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 14:08 8
  - Well, it's a lion and tiger infestation...I don't want a pistol. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 14:14 3
    - they're just kitty cats! throw them a ball of yarn. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 14:14 2
      - because that's what we're saying. -- nm - Frankenstandie Oct 19, 14:15
      - ha ha. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 19, 14:15
  - because every police department is fully equipped with tranqs and nets. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 14:09 2
    - the important thing is... -- (link) - TFox Oct 19, 14:10 [Backboard] 1
      - it was funny. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 14:11
  - THEY'RE COMING RIGHT FOR US!!!!!!! NM -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 14:08
- fine. as i said on the BB, i don't believe they could have captured them all. impossible. - Frankenstandie Oct 19, 14:04 14
  - Oh noes! We've turned her back into Frankenstandie! -- nm - Qale Oct 19, 14:09 1
    - heh, i alternate between hsxtt and slickertalk at work, depends which one i clicked. :) -- nm - Frankenstandie Oct 19, 14:10
  - And the zoo employees who do this professionally disagree. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 14:05 10
    - i get that. i get that some had to die. i still do NOT believe that they all did. exotic animals have escaped before. - Frankenstandie Oct 19, 14:08 9
      - throw down a dead cow carcass, and tranq them. - ghouly Oct 19, 14:11 8
        
        As a point of reference, the farm was 4 miles from downtown Zanesville. Hardly a thriving Metropolis, but still a town of 25,000. - TWuG Oct 19, 14:19 2
        
        I wonder when this will be made into a movie starring Mark Wahlberg. - Bloger Blore Oct 19, 14:24
