State C vs State T

Hypothetically:  Governors  of two states, (lets call one C and one T), jogging with their dogs along a trail. Coyote  jumps out and starts to attack dog:
Case 1 state C:
#1. Governor starts to intervene and then realizes he  should stop; the coyote is doing what is natural. 
#2. Call animal control. Animal control captures  coyote and spends $200 testing it for diseases and $500 relocating it. 
#3. Call Vet. Veterinarian collects dead dog  and spends $200 testing it for diseases. 
#4. Governor goes to hospital and spends $3500  getting checked for diseases from the coyote and getting bite wound  bandaged. 
#5. Running trail gets shut down for 6 months while  wildlife services conduct a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is  clear of dangerous animals. 
#6. Governor spends $50,000 and starts a coyote  awareness program for people who live in the area. 
#7. State legislature spends $2 million investigating  how to better handle rabies and how to possibly eradicate it. 
#8. Governor’s security agent fired for not stopping  the attack and letting the Governor try to intervene. 
#9. Cost $75,000 to train new security agent. 
#10. PETA protests the relocation of the coyote.   
Case 2 state T: 
#1. Governor spends $1.23 on a .380 ACP Gold Dot  Hollow Point and he and the dog keep jogging. 
God, I am glad I live in T.
