It’s been done in the past. Send in the keepers, work the animal into their pen. They DO have the ability to control the animals without tranqs. I want them to TRY some other method. Have the gun around if things look to be not working but TRY to handle it without the gun. After all, this isn’t the first time this has happened, and most of the previous times they got the kids out without killing the animal. So clearly it can be done, has been done, could be done if the zoo in question isn’t run by morons.
Okay. If your 3 year old in there getting manhandled by a gorilla let them "try" different things to get your 3 year out safe and sound. With my 3 year old I'll tell them to shoot the gorilla every single time.
Sure, keep the gun around until they think they need it? What if when they finally figure out they need it and they can’t get a clear shoot without hitting the kid. Think how you would feel.
When is the outrage over the parents of 15 year old punk that fired a gun on Fountain Square Sat. night? Why isn’t everyone screaming about the parents that raised? him?
