ZANESVILLE, Ohio - Police said they have shot at least 25 of at least 48 escaped exotic animals on Tuesday night.

Terry Thompson, the owner of the farm, was found dead outside of his home on the animal farm property.

Police said the fences had been left unsecured.

According to police, the animals escaped at about 6 p.m. from an animal farm near Kopchak Road.

Police would not comment on what animals escaped but said the animal farm did have lions, wolves, cheetahs, tigers, giraffes, camels, grizzly bears and black bears.

Its been a bad situation for a long time and the last thing we want to do is to have any of our public hurt, said Muskingum Sheriff Matt Lutz. No young kids should go outside tonight.

According to police, bears and wolves had been shot and killed.

There were multiple sightings of exotic animals along Interstate 70, police said.

Muskingum Sheriff Matt Lutz said resident safety is his primary concern.

We want our citizens to take any and all precautions they can tonight, said Lutz. Our number one priority is nobody gets hurt out of this ordeal. This is a bad situation.

Police said staff from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and The Wilds were on scene, hoping to tranquilize the animals and return them to safety.

That means that they've moved into the neighboring county. Eeeps!! Even closer to me!




It sounds like the owner may have been murdered and the animals LET loose!!

I feel bad for the Giraffes and Camels if they were let out last.

 

[elevan]

They've gone ahead and shut down schools for tomorrow because they don't want kids out.

They are fully grown animals. Lions, tigers, cheetahs, black bear, grizzly bear, wolves.

Geesh, I'm not worried about the giraffes and camels...it's those predators that terrify me!!

And once again, us humans screw up and the animals suffer.



Don't get me wrong, I don't want any people hurt. But it sucks and hurts my heart when animals who are not at fault (they're doing what they do, esp. when scared and out of their element) are killed due to people's ignorance / negligence.
