Tazer for Bears?

[Rovi]

Check out the Stockstill, an electronic gadget specifically designed for the restraint of large unruly livestock.
I've seen my vet (veterinary surgeon that it, not a retired soldier ) use one on bulls and other adult cattle, and it's impressively effective.
The mouth electrode pictured clips to a lip and the tail electrode clips to a needle inserted near the base of the spine. Switch the unit on and adjust power until the patient is sufficiently rigid.
Administer local anaesthetic and perform procedure in (relative) safety and comfort.
Switch unit off and remove electrodes, release confused patient. Patient ambles off metaphorically scratching it's head wearing a '***?' expression.

It'll handle adult bulls weighing 1 1/2 tons that I've seen, so I suppose it would work on bears too. I'd want someone else to attach the electrodes though, and VERY long wires!

After you tasered that bear it would get up and shred you into taco meat.
Hell hath no fury like that of a tasered bear.

Just make sure you file down the front sight on the taser, and any other sharp edges that will make it easier going in.

Sure tasers would work when encountering a bear. Simply turn to your hiking partner, shock said person. Exit stage left. It's great for bears, tough on hiking buddies.

lol--I would like to see someone taser a bear...from a distance or on video--not up close.

How long before PETA starts telling hikers to carry tazers?

Never. They'd rather see a bear eat a whole family of hikers than for them to use a Taser on it.

WARNING: Not to be used from the other side of the fence!!!

Always bring a hiking partner that you can outrun. That is my bear protection

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww

We were safe for 3 seconds kingpin.


Animals operate from "drives" in a more powerful way than most humans do. More power to 'em.

Apparently, martial arts, not Tazers are the answer to bear attacks: LINK

Hiker uses martial arts to fight off grizzly bear
May 30, 2005
(CP)
Luckily, the bear didn’t have his black belt.
An Alberta man on a Bible retreat successfully used his Brazilian martial arts training on the weekend to fend off a charging grizzly.
Lyle Simpson was hiking through the bush with friends west of Calgary on Saturday when the bruin started chasing him, he said.
“It just burst out of the bush, charging right away. There wasn’t much time to think,” said Simpson, 32, who added there was a cub nearby.
The hikers quickly ran in different directions, but as Simpson was trying to escape, he tripped and landed on his back.
“I put my arm up as the bear was coming on down towards me. The bear tried to bite my arm.”
That’s when Simpson’s training instincts took over and he kicked the bear in the face.
“I think I stunned it just enough. I really think it saved me from a mauling.”
The friends quickly re-grouped and made the 15-minute trek back to Whispering Pines Bible camp.
Simpson needed six stitches to close the wound from the bear’s bite and has a painful gash on his hip.
“My shorts look like they’ve been cut with scissors.,” he said.

I'll bet the stain will never come out, either.

OK, this "right to arm bears" thing is going too far.

From multiple internet sources.

Hiking in Smokey Mountains may bring the hiker in contact with bears.Most bear attacks occur when a bear is surprised or protecting her cubs. To avoid this confrontation it has been suggested that noise makers such as Christmas 'jingle bells' could be sounded to alert bears that you are in the area.If attacked pepper spray sprayed in the eyes and nose will deter some bears. You can tell what kind of bear is in the area if you can find bear droppings. Black bears and brown bears feces will contain nuts and berries and maybe small rodents. A Grizzly bears feces will contain jingle bells and smell like pepper spray!!

Just stay away from Mr. Bear. Stay away from Mrs. Bear, too.

Stay away from Baby Bear as well.

Stay away from Baby Bear as well.

But they're so cute and cuddly.

My question is,,, Who gets to pull the darts out once you have Tazed the bear???

I think I would rather try to shove a ShokRod up the bears keister.
It would be more interesting and just as painful for the both of us!

 

[GaryP]

Tazer plus Bear = Enraged Bear plus human having a bad day or worse!

 

[Sean Smith]

I'd say go ahead and taser the bears if you want to. It isn't like a bear will go on an internet forum and make 1,000 posts about the injustice of bear tasering gone amok.

 

[Pointman]

I envision scat with bells and electrode darts. Assuming they're wearing bells.....
