Lions, tigers, bears, oh my! Add a monkey or two and you have the general idea of what's going on in Ohio.
As the story goes, the owner of a wild life farm in Ohio released all 56 of his exotic animals just before killing himself. Having gun downed 48 of the dangerous animals, shipping 6 of them off to Columbus Zoo, authorities are now on the hunt for a wolf and a potentially dangerous Monkey who is said to be carrying the virus Herpes B. ^Dead lion laying beside the owner's farm near Zanesville, Ohio.

Thats sad that we had to kill most of them but yet the guy shouldnt have owned them in the first place let alone have released them to kill other people! Everything happens for a reason i guess!
This guy is cray cray! first is it even legal to have weird animals like that..thats sad hes that crazy that he would endanger other people and watch out for a crazy monkey? why would you keep a monkey with herpes!? Im kind of glad this guy isnt still alive..but sad that he had to endanger others..
I thought that this was pretty weird. I mean why would he set all these animals free before he did that? Seems pretty messed up to me.
This is ridiculous. People shouldnt be doing this. Some people treat animals like people, so that would mean your like killing real human people. I dont think that is right.
I heard about this guy on the news. If I remember right, he let all his animals run free, then killed himself because he was in debt. The police already had to kill a Bengal Tiger, which is really sad because they are an endangered. If he was going to kill himself though, why would he let all his animals loose? It puts a lot of peoples lives in danger. He must have had some mental issues.
That is the most stupidest decision someone could make before they kill themselves. You are not only hurting yourself but the people around you. These animals are very dangerous. Thats alot of animals that are on the loose to catch. Why not just send all the animals to a zoo and then go kill yourself. Goodness!
I think it is sad that all the animals were killed but I dont get why the state of Ohio would let him keep practically a zoo in his back yard
the guy must of really loved exotic animals.
how would he have gotten them though? and kept them healthy in an environment they aren't prone to? like lions like saffaris and african plains...
he probably let them go before he killed himself because he didn't want them trapped and wanted them to be able to take care of themself since he was no longer going to be around
This is very mean and sad. I don't understand why he would do this.
its really sad that the most the animals were shot down. my cousin was so upset.
