in such a way that he was netted down, unable to move his viper mouth around
to inflict wounds, unable to move, really, BUT, ready for close physical exam.
Don't you remember the (old) cartoons where the Hero Dog Catcher
chased the NawTee Dawg - with the BIG Net?
If I remember, the Catcher Guy wound up IN the net more often than the Dog did.

I remember (LONG ago) a BAT got in the house in P-burgh ... Mom wasn't too thrilled;
Sis & I thought it was "neet" till the critter dive-bombed US.
Dad came home, took one look, and headed for the basement.
Back in a minute with - yup - his favorite short-handled, fine mesh Trout Net!
Took him a couple of practice swings, but Mr. BAT was nicely *netted* on
about the third swing - and headed back outside to the great outdoors.

More'n one way to skin a Kat!
