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.

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

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.

Loose Lucy the Luckless Lioness?
That could’ve been a Dr. Seuss Title

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.
