More details are coming out about the wild animal slaughter in Ohio. Turns out the man who owned the reserve had been reported numerous times for animal cruelty and there had been attempts to rescue his animals in the past. Also, Ohio is one of 8 U.S. states that don't regulate ownership of exotic animals and the only one that don't require people to be federally licenced to keep wild animals. This is the count of dead animals as a result of the man letting the animals loose before he committed suicide: 18 Bengal tigers; 17 lions; 6 black bears; 3 mountain lions; 2 grizzlies; 1 baboon; and 1 wolf. Only 6 animals were captured alive. The dead mans wife is trying to get ownership of the remaining animals, but it looks like she won't get them. I'm really not mad at the police for shooting the animals, I'm mad at the law makers in Ohio for not making better laws. Wild animals belong in the wild, not in tiny wire cages. Tier said it was amazing in Africa walking around the animal preserve. They were all born free and happy.
