More cats

[Wezil]

WAKEFIELD, Ohio - That was no dog chasing cars in southern Ohio earlier this week - it was a cat, a big cat.

Pike County sheriff's deputies responded to a 911 call of a lion "attacking" vehicles on U.S. 23 Monday and found a man trying to capture a 250-kilogram feline near Wakefield.

Terry Brumfield told officers that his lion named Lambert had broken out of its pen in nearby Piketon, about 145 kilometres east of Cincinnati.

The owner was able to get the animal back into the cage without anyone getting hurt.

Brumfield and his wife have two lions.

Vicki Brumfield said they are tame, like great big house cats and raising them has helped her husband through a bout of depression.

Ohio doesn't require permits for exotic animals, but that would change under an Ohio House bill now in committee.

Get your taser ready Donegeal.

Yeah, there's some pretty damn big cats around here. Main Coons I think they're called. Use to be one living around me until the crazy lady moved and no one fed it, so it started eating puppies.

[BlackCat]

Don't know why, but I think that a taser will just piss off such a pussycat even more

[Japher]

I for one say we try it and see. Evil cats.

[BlackCat]

Well, if anyone has a lion and another a taser, I guess that you can get a try

[Japher]

Apparently I don't live far from Wakefield, OH, so all I need is a Taser!

Good luck. You'll end up drawing back a nub, even on a regular cat.

[Japher]

That's what she said.

[SlowwHand]

How about we say stub instead?

The X26 is the model law enforcement uses.

When I was being trained to use it, they showed us a model that is lethal to humans but was designed for larger creatures such livestock (a lion is small than a bull but would count). They showed us a video of a large full grown bull getting shocked. The thing went completely rigid, fell over and teatered back and forth on the side of its belly letting out a low moan until the shock was over (only 5 seconds). It got up and rammed the fence.

Well, if the cat isn't cornered, it'll probably retreat to a safe position, but if there are no retreat, well, hope that you have a lot of shots in the taser and other protective means, else ...
