I would never have guessed.

A lion is on the loose in Essex.
Police will deploy tranquilizer darts, and when everyone has calmed down they will start searching for the lion.

Deplore tranquilizer to who/whom?

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.

Don't you just hate it when you have to explain a joke.

Well it is LitNet.

Well no not really it is called expectations.
Had the joke' phrase' been under Joke threads then one would have made the connections and since it is under News one's expectations of what had come next is naturally absconded.

Ay that was a slip of the tongue.
The question/sentence is perfectly sensical out of context because one can deplore or deploy tranquilizer depending what one means.
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.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.

A young male mountain lion tried to enter a casino in Reno, but was foiled by a revolving door.

Loose Lucy the Luckless Lioness?
That could’ve been a Dr. Seuss Title
(I ‘ave always attempted to attain an affinity for alliteration.)
Uhhhh...
Once during a heavy fog a young mountain lion wandered into my town and was just sauntering up mainstreet. That was a fun day.
