Are zoos that under-equipped that their only options are tranquilizers and wait an hour, or kill?
I think there are protocols that probably necessitate safe distance. That taser is the equivalent of a cattle prod. You gotta get up close and personal. I doubt a protocol that puts more humans in harm's way is one any zoo will adopt.
I'll venture to guess that there's a well studied reason why they choose this option.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
