Ohio animals=Sad :,-(

Did any of you hear about this?

Ughhh! I of course value human life more than anything, but stiiiillll it makes me so sad, the thought of those poor, poor animals (majestic animals!) being taken into some idiot's care to begin with (wth?) and then being destroyed.

Unnecessary.  The whole thing. :-(

Re: Ohio animals=Sad :,-(

  • The whole thing is very sad!!  I can't believe that that man was allowed to have so many exotic animals like that.  So unsafe for all people and animals involved.  It's really sad that all of those animals had to be shot and killed like that...

  • My inital thought when I saw this article this morning was to google how far Zanesville is from Cleveland to make sure there weren't going to be any crazy animals running through my yard. It's way far

    It's really sad that there was  nothing else that could be done with the animals. And it breaks my heart that there were 18  Bengal tigers. That's like 5% of the worlds population of them. (Ok so maybe I'm exaggerating, but it's not a high number) 

    I didn't know that Ohio was lax on the wild animal regulations. I'm not a crazy PETA person, but I see no reason for animals like that to be kept as pets. Zoos- ok, personal collection- not.  I would support anything that bans people from having them.

  • Ohio is pretty lax about these things.  I hear of stories frequently on the news about people like this.

    Lexi--Isn't there a guy around Youngstown that is always on the news?

    Our state clearly needs to get its act together.  My feeling is that if Jack Hanna, the best animal guy out there, says that it is the best thing, then I trust him.

  • I don't keep up on the news, so I have no idea. I only knew about this because they were talking about it at work.

  • Very sad indeed.... seems as if the use of tranquilizers could have been used to save the animals.
