I've thought about this for a while and in my opinion the the proposal should be shortened as follows: "No wild animals are allowed to interact with the public."

Allowing people to ham it up with tigers, bears, and other inherently dangerous animals opens the door to disaster. By the time someone reacts with a stun gun the damage has already occured.

Could the average person stay cool long enough to aim and fire a stun gun at a grizzly or tiger? and you have to keep in mind that you are firing at its skull and shoulders if it's charging straight at you which presents a smaller target area.(though grizzlys sometimes stand up to make themselves look bigger to an opponent so you could get a good shot in at that point)

What if the barbs from the stun gun hit the skull bone and bounce off? I agree that a stun gun would be a more effective weapon than a firearm. I have heard stories about people firing 8 plus rounds into a grizzly and it still got them. Could the stun gun be built into the leash that the handler has on the animal? that way they could activate it if the animal started to become uncontrollabe.

I've seen pictures from experiments done in the fiftys where brain implants were placed in bulls and they were stopped mid charge with the flip of a switch.
