CA vs AZ

California:
The Governor
>of California
is jogging with his dog along
>a nature trail. A coyote jumps out, bites the Governor and attacks his dog.
1. The Governor starts to intervene,
>but reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop; the coyote
>is only doing what is natural.
2. He calls animal control.
>Animal Control captures coyote and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases
>and $500 for relocating it.
3. He calls a veterinarian.
>The vet collects the dead dog and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases.
4. The Governor goes to hospital
>and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting his
>bite wound bandaged.
5. The running trail gets shut
>down for 6 months while Fish & Game conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure
>the area is free of dangerous animals.
6. The Governor spends $50,000
>in state funds implementing a "coyote awareness" program for residents of the area.
7. The State Legislature spends
>$2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate
>the disease throughout the world.
8. The Governor's security
>agent is fired for not stopping the attack somehow and for letting the Governor
>attempt to intervene.
9. Additional cost to State
>of California : $75,000 to hire and train a new security agent with additional special
>training re: the nature of coyotes.
