I'm not a doctor but I'm pretty sure the meanings of deploy and deplore are not the same. The correct pronoun to use would be whom because you are referring to the object of the sentence.Quote:

About who or whom:
In formal letter:
One says 'to whom it may concern'
The reason for that is because the receiver or the reader is unknown to the subject ie the writer here.
In this instance however
I used whom to mean 'non human' ie lions and who for humans because I was not clear on what the OP actually meant.Quote:
Deploy tranquilizer to who/whom?
In other words I was not sure whether he was refering to the lions or people being tranquilized hence the use of who and whom at the same time.
I might be wrong please free to add more.

Once during a heavy fog a young mountain lion wandered into my town and was just sauntering up mainstreet. That was a fun day.
