I don't like tasers. A man died in Vancouver last week after being tasered in an airport. At least with pepper spray you spray and the threat has the option to turn away from the cloud...with a taser the victim just has to sit there and have muscle spasms until you're done or the battery runs out. I like to think the wildlife deserves a bit more respect than that...they were there first. I know some of you are going go into the kill or be killed way of thinking...but it's relatively easy to avoid an animal attack proactively.

Also, carrying pepper spray is legal...I'm not sure about in the US but in Canada a taser is classified as a prohibited weapon and all the same laws and rules apply.
