No Bull: Taser Doesn't Stun Cattle

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - It's no bull _ a Taser doesn't faze cattle. Johnson City police found that out Monday afternoon while trying to force a bull and cow off a city street.

Officers fired the electric stun gun at the animals after they escaped from a nearby farm and wandered around several major intersections and roadways in the city of about 55,500 people.

The Taser didn't budge the bovines, according to a police report.

The cattle were brought under control after officers used a tranquilizer gun, police said.

I saw a video somewhere where someone tazed a bull that was HUGE and he dropped to the ground with no problem. I wonder what was going on with that.

That was a mx animal taser that was used. Not a x26. The x26 tasers work on dogs etc but not larger animals.

It happened in SC too.

S.C. Deputy Tasers a Cow!

WALTERBORO, S.C. (AP) - A Taser may work on a billy goat gruff, but it doesn't seem to be very effective on runaway pot roast.

Incident reports show a Colleton County sheriff's deputy used a Taser twice Monday on a cow wandering along a road.

Two zaps later, the cow's owner still couldn't corral the animal, and it ran off. Deputies spent several hours chasing the cow in and out of traffic before suspending the pursuit.

Last January, Scott also used a Taser to rescue a Cottageville woman from an aggressive billy goat named Dodge, who was later adopted.

I have found that a large mallet to the head works just as good as a taser, plus its whats for dinner.

I guess there is a reason cattle prods are a little heftier than the Taser

this is 100% correct. It was showed to us in our tazer training class and they showed this one. it is one made specifically for big animals like that and would more than likely kill a human, or seriously mess them up, lol. the bull was pissed, did you see him charge the gate in the video, lol. i wouldn't want to have to deal with him afterwards.

You know, I am surprised that the cattle hit with the X26 did not drop in an alcohol-cocaine–meth-pcp induced comma that they did not wake up from because of the taser, I mean they are good cows that like church and video games.......

Sorry, it is early and the hummor is dry.
