Fixed that for you. I have no idea how I would have dealt with it and I don't envy the Duty Inspector in the control room either.
Thanks for the better edit. Dismal for the people involved and now some poor sod is at home worried about the wellbeing of their family finances because they had to do the crappy job. ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)

Swap out 'young calf' for 'angry woman with a baseball bat smashing cars up'. Still run them over?
Human>car. How about 'hysterical old woman making up angry woman analogies that appear to be spectacularly devoid of reality or common sense'. Hit with a car? Shoot with a dart or just suggest not drinking so much?

Why does that matter?
Because, presumably, a young woman is a lot easier to wrestle to the ground than a calf is and that's not considering the fact that a calf has two more legs. Also, a young woman with a baseball bat can understand instructions given by the police which is something that the calf cannot do, unless it's a particularly intelligent calf compared to a singularly stupid woman.

And yet you suggest the use of such tools in this environment. And you appear to think a police officer will have been trained where to hit the animal? And that it will be stationary? And that it was broad daylight? Or that they would be permitted to even make the attempt? Or be available? As per usual you head off down naive street. ![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)

As a person, she could be reasoned with.
As a person, taser would very likely be effective.
Etc etc.

You seem extremely confused or remarkably dim. To actually pop back up and use the farce of trying to shoot a dog with normal police firearms and repeatedly missing as some kind of proof that a cow should have been shot with high powered firearms is possibly the dumbest things done on PH this week. Well done. ![rofl](/inc/images/rofl.gif)
You keep calling 7.62 a high powered weapon ![rofl](/inc/images/rofl.gif)
