BERLIN -- Police killed a bear and were searching for two lions, two tigers and a jaguar that broke out of their cages in a zoo in western Germany on Friday. Police in nearby Trier told The Associated Press that all of the escaped animals were believed to still be on the grounds of the zoo in the town of Luenebach, near the border with Luxembourg and Belgium, but that area residents were being warned to stay indoors until they could be sure.

Local broadcaster SWR had initially reported that lions and pumas had broken out of the Eifel Zoo, but police were able to determine that the missing animals were two lions, two tigers and a jaguar, the dpa news agency reported. A bear was shot dead, Sky News reported.

Who let the Lions out?

For Lions, tigers, Jaguars and bears to have all escaped, then somebody must have been monkeying around!

Imagine these three walking up to the bar and demanding free drinks!

Free drinks? How about free steaks. :)

Quite a “caring” zoo. They shoot their animals.

The zoo keepers don’t have a clue how the animals got out. Hmmm, ya think they were let out intentionally? Any invaders on the staff?

Why not tranquilize the bear?

From what I gather in the opening post, the cats got out and they shot the bear. So I'm guessing the bear is the culprit, and he was punished for his offense.

Where did the cats get a gun?
