I also wish they would not kill any of them and the owner should not have been allowed to have these beautiful creatures.
I wonder if he opened all the cages himself before he died?
This had "a disaster waiting to happen" written all over it.

A lot of unanswered questions - some probably are not answerable -
If the man wanted to kill himself - fine (okay - I sound cold-hearted) - but why in the world would he let the animals out first and wreck the cages (if that bit of info is correct) - before doing so?
If he was so in love with animals and collected them - why didn't he call someone first to let them know about them - and THEN kill himself - if that's what actually happened.

The general feeling is, he wanted one last act of vengence toward his neighbors.
But he would have had to know he was signing a death warrant for his animals. If he truly cared about them he could have notified the groups that had tried to help him before. give them a chance to help the animals.
There have also been reports that he had baited the area(with chicken parts) where he killed himself to attract the animals to his body. One very sick individual.

But when one thinks about it - how many more humans are killed by other humans than by animals?
Laws can only do so much. I don't think it's possible to legislate sanity or sense.

Okay -a thought to the info posted. A man spends his life collecting animals- faces a few hicups along the way with neglect and or abuse. Bare with me here- I'm not vindicating his actions. So this man supposedly gets out of jail returns to his home finds the animals in even worse care then when he left and proceeds to ruin their cages, let the animals loose, lays dead chickens around himself and then kills himself. Things don't add up. Destroying cages is a act of an extreme animal rights activist. Baiting him to be attacted sounds like vindication. Letting the animals loose- sounds like someone looking to set him up. Possibly, just possibly he did do all this in a crazed dispondancy but there are some questions here that don't fit
was this a case of a man who realized he had nothing left or so he thought and believed he would be the last meal for his animals in an act of revenge against a wife who was reported to have left him? Had the man he left them in the care of done or said something that was the last straw? Was this suicide or......

Who knows...but he should not have been allowed to collect animals like I collect stuffed frogs.[/quote]
Absolutely- I'm just wondering if this is actually being investigated from every angle possible or has it been discarded. If it were not a suicide then that means there is a murderer on the loose who went to an aweful lot of trouble and put alot of people in danger
