Lions, and Tigers, and Bears ... OH SHIT!

     A man in Ohio decided to free all his exotic pets and then kill himself yesterday ... and now there are some two-dozen animals roaming the streets of Zanesville ... and another some two-dozen are dead.
     The man, who was charged with weapons charges, was asked to remove the animals and apparently took it a little too literally ... He removed them from his property and dispersed them to everyone else's ... But beforehand, like any good pet owner (which he was not, he had been charged with pet abuse in the past), he fed his cheetahs, and giraffes, and wolves before he opened their cages and his fence and walked away ... Afterwards, they did what any warm-blooded animal would do, they strolled along their merry way.
     Occasionally a lion would eat a monkey ... Or a camel would stroll along a highway ... You know the norm. When the Zanesville police got wind of this, they originally attempted to tranquilize the animals but when tigers and lions and other animals reacted violently, they decided they needed to shoot to kill (which, bee tee dubz, is super sad!).


     My question is how did this man accumulate all these exotic animals in the first place? When he got his first lion, all right ... Ohio apparently has lax laws on having crazyyyy pets. But then when he got a monkey and a camel and a tiger and a grizzly bear and started calling it a preserve ... but then was charged with pet abuse ... Didn't that raise any red flags???? I mean what does it take for someone in Ohio to send their "pets" to a zoo ...
     Oh, yeah, apparently a real life version of Jumanji.


It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight, rising up to the challenge of our rival. And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night and he's watching us all in the eye of the tiger. (Eye of the Tiger, Survivor)
