Fort Worth to spin webs over dangerous dogs

5

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.
