This guy who ran a private animal preserve in Ohio, opened the cages of all the animals before offing himself.

Authorities ended up killing a bunch of tigers, lions and bears that had gone wandering.

There is much outrage over the deaths of the large animals, but, presumably, human lives were threatened.

Here's an article. Was the animal killing justified?

You can't ask the police to scramble and find some non-lethal means on such short notice. The guy was a selfish douchebag for just releasing them like that.

No, but I once had a lion.

Last weekend in fact - I didn't get out of bed until 11.30am.

Lions and Tigers and Bears OH MY!

Yeah, I agree with Lubriderm.

Just the nightmare involved in getting animal grade tranquilizers is one thing, but I doubt the Ohio PD was equipped to hunt the animals with said tranqs, nor to deal with the consequences of using too little that it just angers the animals into attacking or running and hiding and then attacking random civilians, or using too much and ending up killing the animals anyway.

I'm more concerned about why this mook had a monkey with Herpes to begin with.

Even if they could capture the animals in a non-lethal manner, I doubt the authorities had any means of caring for the animals until they could be placed. And it's not as though most zoos just have an empty tiger (or lion or bear or wolf) exhibit waiting for a new resident. At best, they'd probably wind up in another private collection and then people could ***** about that instead.

If I was to put any ire into it, it would be on the lax laws that allowed this situation to begin with.

Meh, just put them in with the capybaras and see how things go. I know which one I'd rather see.

I once saw a thing where a bear in AZ or NM or someplace in the desert fell into an open sewage tank. It took a team of five people about six hours and two tranquilizers to stabilize the bear so they could extract him, hose him off, and then drive him two hours north back to the mountains where he belonged.

And that was one bear that was covered in ****, overheating and miserable and stinky, and pretty much unable to move from his sludgey trap.

He probably wasn't much of a threat to people if he was contained in a ****-tank.

I feel bad that they had to die, but I don't see what else could've been done.

I second the opinion that the guy was a douche...

That would hold more weight if a chimp couldn't rip your face and nuts off without trying.

As for the other animals I'm also of the opinion it was the only real option. Couldn't wait around and hope they didn't attack anyone while they got the proper personnel and tranquilizer equipment.

Exactly how much weight does a joke require? Smiley: dubious

Since he wanted to die anyway, he should have let the animals loose in his house.

There's the phrase "your mom" in here somewhere, but I'm too polite to go digging for it.

No, but they didn't want him to die either.

The locals still fondly refer to him as their "Poo-bear."

It's too bad Steve Irwin isn't around anymore. I'm sure he coulda rounded them all up - he wasn't exclusive to crocodiles, y'know.

If ((Joke * length)/(tl;dr - relevance)) + Laughs^2 > 9000 then funny.

You left out the genetic modifier.

Racist and sexist jokes have whole other equations all to themselves Smiley: schooled
