Think of reasons why sedative drugs, like acepromazine, would not be a good choice for treating animals with aggression?

What will be an ideal response?


Sedatives can make an aggressive dog disoriented and confused such that it cannot adjust to new situations. This may slow the dog's responses somewhat, but it will not take away its fear and inability to adapt to stressful situations. Any warning that the dog may give to indicate its aggressiveness, such as biting, will be decreased, making the dog very dangerous. Sedatives also prevent the dog from learning, so that any type of successful reconditioning training cannot be achieved.
