I know.  This could be a great start for a joke.  Stick with me though.

They tazed it.

Twice.

Then they shot it.

From the article:

The deputies each shot the adult llama with their Tasers, but it had no effect, Amazi said. One deputy shot it with a firearm, but the animal continued to elude them, she said.

If you ever taze a llama twice before shooting it, don’t be surprised if it doesn’t come to you when you call it.

So why go to all the trouble of tazing and shooting a llama?

“It’s causing a traffic issue” and eating flowers and garden plants, Amazi said.

That’s some mighty fine police work there, Lou.
