When I first started this business, one of the humane society heads suggested that I take a course in tranquilizing. She said anyone could buy the equipment but not the liquid. She would get their vet to write prescriptions for the liquid and I'm guessing she wanted me to work for them in my spare time. I'm not making this up.

If i worked with bears or lions I would, but realistically, if i spend the $4000, Im going to end up tranqing a possum just sot it wasnt a complete waste LOL.
