WTF?: When (Cardboard) Rhinos Attack

This is a Japanese zoo's training video on what to do in the unlikely event that a cardboard rhino with two guys standing underneath it escape from its habitat. Looks like a lot of poking it with sticks, banging on metal buckets, and eventually tranquilizing the horny bastard. Also, make sure its ear breaks off when you finally down the beast. Good to know!

Thanks to Chris, who noted that a bottle of overproof rum and a lit cigarette would have sorted the situation out romantically.
