    I wonder if there was foul play? Sounds like it since all the cages were opened.

    Finch, do you have any inside information? Were any PETA members involved in this?

    At this time, they believe the owner released them and then killed himself.

    Crazy stuff! Driving down the highway and seeing Lions Tigers and Bears OH MY!
    To be serious hope they get all the animals before anyone gets hurt.

    I figured they'd have tranquilized a lot of those still lingering around the farm,especially with all the zoo officials trying to lend a hand.

    Sounds like they got a .45 to the noggin regardless. lol

    I assume all will be fine, they should be able to round up the rest of the animals, if they'd actually leave their vehicles and go look for them.

    Who said you have to travel to Africa to hunt exotics? I'm going East of Columbus.

    Turns out the owner just got out of jail, his wife left him so he committed suicide after opening all the cages and cutting the fence

    The guy was NOT a stable person by any means. And he would've been the type to want all of this hoopla surrounding his "exit strategy."

    Ha! No, we're glad the man is dead but terribly distraught over the death of these innocent creatures. :D
