I'm guessing a tranquiliser would have taken several minutes to take effect, seeing as it was either gnawing on it's victim or heading towards the cops ( it was doing one of the two ) I would say the bullet was the only option at that time. Don't believe in caging animals myself, having said that I keep a budgie, his door is open all day. Just wondering where AccyWebbers would draw their line.
