I know fur would make it more difficult but why can’t they taze the animals in these circumstances?

They said the gorilla had hold of the boy and their thought was that there’s almost always a violent reaction with tranquilizing. I don’t know about tazing, but maybe it would be the same, and maybe they didn’t have that capability and time was important.

I assume a tazer may not bring down a silverback, plus if he was down in an enclosure he’d be out of range.

Would a taser take down a 400 lb being?? Human or otherwise?

Not being a smartass, just asking a sincere question. Could be that the taser isn’t powerful enough for that sized beast.
