Fort Worth to spin webs over dangerous dogs
Looking for new ways to catch dangerous dogs on the loose, the Fort Worth Police Department and Animal Control are considering turning to net guns that shoot out non-lethal web-like nets and are accurate up to 50 feet.
The city is also contemplating bring back tranquilizer guns, something they haven't used since 1995 after a dog was paralyzed.
I'm walking into spiderwebs...

Why not use net guns on people, too?
Serious question.

The nets looked pretty flimsy...are we to believe that those nets will stop a raging animal from taking a bite? I'm thinking no..

Are we forgetting “The Running Man”? If it worked on Schwarzenegger it will work on Cletus the meth-head.
