Crazy story . . .

I mean, Wow ... Just Wow ...

Can you put yourself in the 1st responder's shoes, during a monsoon downpour like they face, plus, knocking down charging wild beasts with hand guns & rifles ...

Glad no one was hurt ... But, the limp wrists are crying now . . .

The guy supposedly cut the cages & let them all free. Then, he shot himself.

The story is that the eccentric was trying to get back at the community & police who called in 50+ reports on him over the last several years.

The thing that gets me, is all the bleeding hearts who are mad at the LEO's for not using humane resources on getting wild animals under control . . .

Jet, I don't think I qualify as a "bleeding heart" but you'd be surprised at how many calls I've been on where a cop has called in (Because he DIDN'T want to shot the animal!) as well as the citizen for a wildlife call. Most people that place calls on guys like this are ill-informed, jealous or just plain bitter. Ohio has one of the least regulated wildlife regulations in the nation. You can own almost anything you want without insurance, bonds or legal paperwork as well as being inspected. If anything good come of this...I would hope they fall inline like other states.

The guy that had the wildlife sanctuary had some issues...that's a fact. I don't think the entire story has been told yet. Nobody that has the animals he had would keep them if they didn't have their better interest at heart. What he did was unconscionable. He could've turned them over to local zoos...sold them...given them to other sanctuaries but to let them all loose? Crazy.

What's crazier though is the local law enforcement going on a kill spree. They did not have to put them all down. IMO...Most of those power hungry jackwagons just wanted to brag around the water cooler that they shot a lion or a tiger! So, the local animal control...vet clinics...zoo keepers...sanctuary owners and trappers didn't have tranquilizer guns? Yes they did but the cops wanted to handle it their way. The Barney Fife way. They were prolly sitting around a median waiting for a speeder or at a doughnut shop when the call came in!

Sorry, but the real tragedy here is putting the animals down. They didn't deserve that and as humans we owe it to them to be proper stewards. Nothing bleeding heart about that.

and yes there were tranq. but obviously someone started panicing

Right from the beginning!

"Lutz said that four deputies with assault rifles in a pickup truck immediately went to 270 Kopchak Rd., where a 46-acre “wild-animal-rescue farm” owned by Thompson borders I-70."

I do wonder why they were harrasing him so much tho... it's like he was puched over the edge... bullied and stuff... 😟

I could handle if they died from being over medicated MUCH more than I could this shooting gallery mentality this local yokel sheriff did.

Like I stated...the entire story isn't out there...yet.

Not only that Drafter...Jack Hanna...A man that carries much respect and know-how...Jack **** Hanna...was there...close by. All he could do after the fact was state that he was glad nobody was hurt.

I'm not trying to justify their actions at all... just passing on what I read... I wish they had done more to try to catch the critters.... 😞

You KNOW that and I KNOW that...Average Joe doesn't have a clue about that Busa.

Take a look at the pics.

Most of the dead animals are next to the barn that served as their cages. I'm willing to bet that the animals scattered after they opened fire.

There was one deputy on the radio...I'll see if I can find the audio clip that stated it didn't have to go down the way it did.

Jack Hanna LIVES there!
