Zanesville, Ohio: Wild Animals Set Free, Killed
 |
| Tragic. |
I suppose it's possible that you haven't heard about the dude who had tons of wild animals (Bengal tigers, lions, monkeys, etc.), set them free in Zanesville, Ohio, and then killed himself. But I doubt it. I thought I should mention it anyway, since I'm from Columbus, not so far from Zanesville. I knew people from there, and my step-dad used to have some exotic animals (snakes, turtles, alligators), but never knew anything like this.
I suppose the guy thought he was doing a good thing, releasing them? Or maybe he wanted them to savage the Zanesville populace. Whatever he was thinking, all he accomplished was getting most of them--some endangered--killed. On top of this, there's some back-and-forth about Governor Strickland passing an exotic animal ordinance, and Governor Kasich revoking it. I have no nice things to say about Kasich, and can see no good in revoking such a thing, but I don't know if in this case it would have made any difference.

Zanesville animals: 24 hours later, 1 monkey still on the loose
Only a few law enforcement officials remain on Kopchak Road at this
time, and the road has been reopened 24 hours after the Muskingum County
Sheriff's Office encountered exotic animals owned by Terry Thompson.
And the three school districts that canceled classes on Wednesday --
Zanesville, West Muskingum and Maysville -- will be in session Thursday. . .
I guess he doesn't want to see the animals suffer in their cages or, like you said, just want them to munch a few human flesh. But who knows, he's dead. asr hip replacement lawsuit
ReplyDeleteAs a monkey & animal lover, I am offended that this dead piece of shit set his animals free in the wild tundra of mother fucking Ohio.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine he could possibly think they would somehow survive??? He's gotta know something about these animals. (Of course, why even have them in the first place? Small penis?)
If he had any sense of love for these caged beasts he would have called WWF or the Humane Society out to his house, get them on the property & then blow his head off. At least then the animals would not have share his fate.
It was a cowardly, careless, self-centered act. Just like suicide is, most of the time.
