Hush now. She's following Kevin Spacey around and working on his stuff.
Don't I get a cookie?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
So am I. Of course, it's the talk of the office right now, and no one can work out why not trank it first, and then kill if necessary later.
The animal was so big that it would take off and be far, far away after being tranked, before it set in. They couldn't risk losing it again.

Well, Kate must not have cared that much whether he stayed around then, because that's just silly. Me or your livelihood? Yeah, sort of have to go with livelihood, sorry.

Ooh, I could rent a house for less than I pay now. [link] . Anyone know if the area is liveable?

Oh. I meant, she can't get anything good.

Larger animals than that have been brought down by tranquiliser guns, I'm sure. What was different here?

Snap, as the younguns say.

Lee, the neighborhood is fine and very residential. Sort of a nicerish version of my neighborhood. It's not super close to where you will be working.

What was different here?
Those larger animals were probably not near schools and freeways.
Similar thing happened in Palo Alto a year or so ago, although it was just a mountain lion and not a how-cool-is-that tiger.
t eta Not that I'm fully buying the kill-first approach, but how much shit would Fish&Game be in if the drunked-up tiger caused a car crash or nibbled on a kid?

It was in a forest. It's not an instantaneous sleep. The animal had been roaming the forest since February 1st and was spotted near a home. Getting shot would have resulted in a spike in adrenaline. Tigers run fast, anyway. Under the thick cover, the animal could have escaped, hid, and recovered before being found. That was the reasoning given, at any rate.

I'd be surprised if shooting a semi-tranked tiger before it got that far was that hard, but I don't do big game, so I'm just guessing. It's also possible my scale is off -- but I figure if you can trank a rhino, you can trank the much smaller tiger.
Or kill it if it then gets frisky.

Thick cover? I need to look at the pics again. I didn't know we had any of that here.
