Exotic animals on the loose in Ohio

How dare those animals move in with that guy!

 

I'm just glad you have more than one hippie friend. Although with deer and duck season looming, I've transitioning into redneck mode.

 

You just know that the big cat who ate the chimp had his eye on that ape since "the troubles" last year on the farm. Eyeing him up and saying to himself, "When this nutbag owner cracks, you're mine mofo."

 

Well, yes. But he could have done it and then put himself in with a tiger or something. Rather than cutting them all out THEN doing it.

 

I try not to hate. But I HATE Terry Thompson. I HATE people like him.

 

I realize east-central Ohio isn't Kruger National Park, but couldn't they have brought in some tranq guns to spare some of these animals instead of blowing them the damn away?

 

That's my thought as well. That picture of all the animals lined up dead is depressing. I don't blame the people for doing it, but I do blame the fuckstick who owned them and let them loose.

 

No

 

Susan Orlean has a good piece in the New Yorker

Anyone who claims that he needs to own wild animals because he loves them is delusional. Wild animals don’t want to be owned. They’re wild. They are not pets; they are not our friends; they are not objects. No scenario makes private ownership of wild animals reasonable or fair.

 

In the AP story I put in the paper yesterday, it said the deputies were confronted by a bengal tiger at the site, and a veterinarian hit him with a tranq. Not only did it not phase him, it riled him up and the deputies had to shoot him before he attacked.
