You're right, but the correct thing to do is to let the professionals handle them from now on. The world being so unpredictable and all. At least they have safegaurds.
Not bears and tigers!!
That would be sick.

mmmmm....fatty
I'm just saying, motherfuckas are all outraged over these animals, then put on their leather jackets and boots and get into their rides with leather interior to drive somewhere and grab a hamburger.
It's all relative, but come the fuck on now.
Bear meat sounds unappealing.
It's nasty. Greasy and strong and just barely edible.
"It's the salt water that changes the Rainbow's pretty colors to gray." "And his colors never come back?" "No, once he's been to the sea he's changed forever. The Steelhead can come back home here, stay for the rest of his days, and live among the other Rainbow trout, but he'll always be different because of where he's been." Morsi, Pamela. Garters.
Yeah I think I will stick with the basics. Poultry, fish and PIG. Beef is meh, only on occasion and most likely at a nicer restaurant where I can have it in the form of filet mignon.
I ate bear once by accident and it was revolting. Before I knew what it was, I spat it out and asked if the meat was rancid.
Also didn't this woman leave her husband because he couldn't afford his animals? WTF.
You slept with mike so he would ban me. change your sig..the pretentious look how hipster face is so old ooh you like guys with glasses..ooooh
Ohio governor orders exotic animals to be quarantined - NOT returned to widow of reserve owner who freed them before killing himself
The Ohio Agriculture Department has ordered that the six exotic animals who survived after their owner freed them and dozens of other creatures before killing himself be quarantined instead of transferred from a zoo to his widow, the office of Gov. John Kasich said Thursday.
The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium had said it was trying to stop Marian Thompson from reclaiming three leopards, two primates and a young grizzly bear that have been cared for by the zoo since last week, when Terry Thompson mysteriously set them free on a rural area of eastern Ohio before shooting himself in the head in his ranch driveway.
The zoo said it took the six surviving animals with Marian Thompson's permission but has no legal rights to the animals.
Attorneys who have represented Thompson were not available for comment Thursday morning, according to their office.
A private veterinarian for the Agriculture Department looked at the animals Thursday and determined they needed to be quarantined, Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said.
Thompson will be informed of that when she arrives at the zoo and will not be leaving with the animals, Nichols said. The quarantine order is indefinite, but Thompson is entitled to a hearing within 30 days if she wants to appeal the order.
Ohio has some of the nation's weakest restrictions on exotic pets, and efforts to strengthen the regulations have taken on new urgency since Terry Thompson opened the cages at his eastern Ohio farm near Zanesville last week, freeing four dozen animals that were later shot by authorities.
Officers were ordered to kill the animals - including rare Bengal tigers, lions and bears - instead of trying to bring them down with tranquilizers for fear that those hit with darts would escape in the darkness before they dropped and later regain consciousness.
It's not clear whether Marian Thompson wants to take the surviving animals back to the farm or to an alternate location, said Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz, whose office isn't taking a stance on whether the creatures should return to Zanesville.
Sheriff Lutz said: 'If she wants to bring them back here, to this farm, then we're working on what we're allowed legally to do to make sure that everything is safe and appropriate.'
Until earlier this year, Ohio was under an executive order that banned the buying and selling of exotic animals, but the newly elected Kasich let it expire, saying the regulations were not enforceable.
Last week, he put temporary measures in place to crack down on private ownership. A study committee has until Nov. 30 to draft permanent legislation.
Marian Thompson referred to the animals as her ‘babies’ when she reportedly told zoo official Tom Stalf last week that she is especially bonded with the surviving pair of primates.
She revealed to him that when she was still living at the farm the surviving female Macaque would sleep with her, ABC News reported.
It has been speculated that Terry Thompson killed himself because he was deep in financial debt.
A fellow big-cat enthusiast said last week that he had taken in so many creatures, he was 'in over his head.'
Court records show that he and his wife owed at least $68,000 in unpaid taxes to the IRS and the county, and he had two federal tax liens filed against him last year.
He had just gotten out of federal prison last month for possessing unregistered weapons.
Thompson released 56 of his exotic animals before taking his own life. Forty-nine of them were killed in the ensuing hunt, including 18 endangered Bengal tigers.
The local sheriff's department has come under scrutiny for acting heavy-handed, but others say it was the only way to avoid injuries or deaths among people in the area.

She will end up suing over the animals being shot.

Roflmao!!!

Have you no heart, sir?? NONE AT ALL??
I think they should just get all the tigers left to sue on behalf of their brethren.

I think they should shoot her too.
Fair enough
I second that motion!
Five charged with stealing lion carcass from Ohio farm
CLEVELAND (Reuters) - Five people have been charged with stealing a lion carcass from an Ohio farm while sheriff's deputies were in a frantic hunt last month for dozens of animals a collector released before committing suicide.
Sheriff's deputies had killed several exotic predators and were trying to account for the others on October 18 when a vehicle pulled into the driveway at Terry Thompson's farm and then left, Muskingum County Sheriff's Office reports showed.
Deputies stopped the Jeep Cherokee down the road and found the lion carcass.
Charged on Monday in the theft of the carcass were Cody Wilson, 21, Richard Weidlich, 19, Brian Matthews, 21 and Joseph Jakubisin, 21, Muskingum County prosecutor Michael Haddox said on Tuesday. He declined to identify the fifth suspect, a juvenile.
Deputies shot nearly 50 lions, tigers, wolves, bears and other animals in the hours after they found Thompson, 62, lying dead and many cages open when they responded to reports of a lion running loose at the farm in Zanesville, in east-central Ohio.
A half dozen animals were captured and sent to the Columbus Zoo for care, while the carcasses of the animals that were killed were buried at the farm.
Thompson, who had been released recently from federal prison after a firearms conviction, had been charged 11 times since 2004 with animal cruelty. No suicide note was found, but an autopsy determined he had shot himself, authorities said.
At first the boys said they didn't have a carcass in the car. But the police knew they were lyon.

Ohio officials are clearing the way for the return of five surviving exotic animals to a woman whose husband released dozens of wild creatures last fall, then committed suicide.
The Ohio Department of Agriculture announced the decision Monday at an agency hearing in which the state was to defend its authority to quarantine the animals ? two leopards, two primates and a bear ? on suspicion of infectious diseases.
A spokeswoman for the agency said the state had exhausted its authority in the case and that the state's agriculture director would lift the quarantine order that was placed on the animals in October. Medical results released last week showed all five animals are free of the dangerously contagious or infectious diseases for which they were tested.
That means the animals can be returned to Marian Thompson of Zanesville, though it's unclear when that might happen. Logistics for retrieving the animals will have to be worked out between Thompson and the Columbus zoo, which has been holding the five creatures, said agriculture spokesman Erica Pitchford.
Once the animals are returned to Thompson, nothing in Ohio law allows state officials to check in on their wellbeing or requires improvements to conditions in which they are kept, Pitchford said.
"That authority lies solely with the local humane society and county prosecutor," she said. The humane society could intervene with help from the county prosecutor if there was an investigation into animal cruelty.
Zoo spokeswoman Patty Peters said the facility must follow certain protocols to prepare for the animals to be handed back to Thompson. For instance, she said, the animals must be sedated for the transfer, but they cannot eat or drink for 24 hours before being given the sedative.
Peters said the animals had been fed on Monday, and the earliest they could be moved would be Wednesday. She said other details were being worked out, and she didn't yet have additional information.
Thompson is the widow of Terry Thompson, who released 56 animals ? including black bears, mountain lions and Bengal tigers ? from his eastern Ohio farm Oct. 18 before he committed suicide. Authorities killed 48 of the animals as a public safety measure.
Three leopards, two primates and a bear survived and were taken to the Columbus zoo. One leopard had to be euthanized at the zoo in January and the other animals have been there since.
Marian Thompson's attorney, Robert McClelland, said his client has adequate cages for the surviving animals, according to a letter obtained last week by The Associated Press through a public records request. The state's agriculture director told McClelland earlier this month that the Agriculture Department required proof of the arrangements Thompson has made for the animals' confinement and care.
McClelland and Marian Thompson declined to answer reporters' question about the animals' return as they left Monday's hearing at the department's headquarters in Reynoldsburg, just outside of Columbus.
State officials issued a quarantine order because they said they were concerned about reports that the animals lived in unsanitary conditions where they could be exposed to disease. The order prevented the Columbus zoo from releasing the animals until it's clear they're free of dangerous diseases.
Tom Stalf, the Columbus zoo's chief operating officer, said in a sworn statement released Friday by agriculture department that he was at the Thompsons' property the day the animals were released, where he observed that two primates were held in separate, small bird cages. A brown bear was also kept in a cage that wasn't fit for its size, he said.
"The bear was very aggressive and was biting at the wire cage," Stalf said in the affidavit, which is dated April 24.
Terry Thompson's suicide, the animals' release and their killings led lawmakers to re-examine the state's restrictions on exotic pets, which are considered some of the nation's weakest. The state Senate recently passed a bill that would ban new ownership of monkeys, lions and other exotic animals. It now goes to the House for consideration.
Gov. John Kasich, the Columbus zoo, and the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation support the measure, which would allow current owners to keep their animals by obtaining a new state-issued permit by 2014 and meeting other strict conditions. Facilities accredited by some national zoo groups would be exempt from the bill, along with sanctuaries and research institutions.
