This brings a new perspective to animal handling as Dr Mark would say “physical restraint is not fight”. The Y-pole appears to be a great tool and would love to try it on my hyenas and jackals. The hands on training with the dart gun is priceless and learning the parts and uses so great. Thanks Dr Mark for the gifts but I would say the knowledge gotten is the greatest gift. BAM is a quite excellent drug with fast action and recovery on administration of reversal. I would work more with it before I give a recommendation but seems quite good. Special thanks to all Wolf Haven staff for their support-Bundle of experience there and great job you’re doing with the wolves. The experience gotten will definitely be used more frequently as expected and hope to learn more.
