I heard reports that he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after he released the animals.

I don’t trust reporters, or cops, for that matter.
Yeah, that’s the same thing I’m reading. He released the outside animals and shot himself. He was in financial difficulty I believe if I remember everything I read searching for info on this story this morning.
Have to admit I was astounded at the insane posts in the Ohio blogs. Folks putting those animal’s live above humans. Most wanting ALL of them tranqualized. How? If all those tree-huggers are SO upset the animals were in captivity..what the hell was supposed to be done with them once they were caught? You cannot let them run free anymore. They have been associated with humans too long.
One nutball even said if he saw an exotic animal going after a human, he’d spare the animal. Wow. Wonder if he’d feel the same if one were after him??
Lions, and... wolves, and bears, oh my!
