Wild Animals Set Loose, Owner Dead
 They're loose, all the cage doors open, and the fence "unsecured". PETA, perhaps?Or hunters..."It's always been a fear of mine knowing (the preserve's owner) had all those animals," the neighbor said. "I have kids. I've heard a male lion roar all night." The fences had been left unsecured Tuesday at the Muskingum County Animal Farm in Zanesville, in east-central Ohio, and the animals' cages were open, police said. The deputies, who saw many other animals standing outside their cages and others that had escaped past the fencing surrounding the property, began shooting them on sight. They said there had been no reports of injuries among the public. The kook who did this probably thought they'd be humanely captured and returned to the wild - say New Jersey. Staffers from the Columbus Zoo went to the scene, hoping to tranquilize and capture the animals. The sheriff said caretakers might put food in the animals' open cages to try to lure them back. Unless they're shot on sight, of course. Posted by: Bobby 2011-10-19 |
