I heard on the news Ohio is the worst offender in the laws preventing private citizens from owning exotic animals of this kind. That they had some laws and the new govenor vetoed them somehow. I bet he is singing a different tune now. These are animals, who should never be held in captivity by people who think they know what they are doing. Hasn't it been proven by now that even the so called experts have fallen victim to the dangers of a wild animal held in captivity and those in the wild to for that matter.
I hope they got them all rounded up and everyone will soon be able to get back to normal.

That's where my "friends" acquired their fox, wolves and bear as well as some badgers. but it's "OK" because they have studied up on how to care for them-NOT!
yes, their attitude angers me.
I hope your "friends" do not ever end up paying for thier stupidity in owning the types of animals that they own. A friend of ours wanted a badger to raise and keep, but the laws in Oregon are written so that luckily it is almost prohibitive for a regular person to own wildlife. I was quite grateful when his wife told me it would entail to much for him to aquire one. Stupidest idea the man ever had.

I heard on the news this morning that Ohio allows citizens to keep any type of wild animals, no restrictions. I think this is so irresponsible. Wild animals belong in the zoo or in the wild ...only.
On the news also, Jack Hanna said that there are only 1500 tigers left in the wild. He also said that there are more tigers in captivity then anywhere else.
It break my heart that all those beautiful animals had to be put down, but they did what they had to do to protect everyone.

A neighbor saw a tiger loose,stalking 3-4 horses on next farm.He got in barn, called his Mom & told her to call 911. It went on from there.
" I heard that the police were on their way to check on the man, does anyone know how they knew something was wrong at the place? "

I am not going to second guess what the first responders should or shouldn't have done regarding shoot or tranquilize. I just feel bad for them. I can't imagine that any of the officers felt too great about having to shoot those animals even if they are folks who hunt. What a shame, a waist and a tragic situation.

The sherriff was saying the wife of the man is just devastated by the death of the husband, animals being put down and the whole situation. She also tried to convince them not to take the ones that were left away, they are like her baby's. She is going to be allowed to visit them anytime she wishes at the Columbus zoo. This is just a sensless tradgedy that could have been prevented if there had been laws in place.
