Earlier this year Mazzola was discovered dead.

On a waterbed.

Wearing a mask and with his arms and legs restrained says the article.

Mazzola was an exotic animal keeper in the Cleveland area, a couple of hours north of Zanesville, and unconnected with the farm in Zanesville.

sounds like ALF to me. Leaving all the doors open.

PLEASANT GROVE, Ohio (AP) — Beady eyes and dealy-bopper ears greeted Matilda Berkschneider this morning as she awoke in her upper floor bedroom this morning. A girraffe from the nearby Zanesville animal farm was wolfing down leaves from the tree outside . . .

The writer has a bad case of wondering, the guy on the bed deal has nothing to do with the man at zanesville. It sounds like some animal rights nut job killed him and then opened all the cages and pens.

Bears in Poughkeepsie, wolves rampant in the west, coyotes everywhere and now lions and tigers and.....giraffes in Ohio?

I know this guy. I live close by. He was just released from prison. He let all of his animals go and then shot himself. The local schools are all closed. There are said to be over 40 animals lose.

They wouldn't say what animals escaped but said the preserve had lions, wolves, tigers, giraffes, camels and bears.

Oh my.

sounds like the Cops took advantage of the situation and got a free safari hunting trip of a lifetime.

Every one of those cops should be fired, and prosecuted.

Not a joke here.This farm is exactly 5.3 miles on the other side of the woods from me.Our school district is one of them effected.Local news says there were 48 large animals and 24 have been shot.That still eaves several lions and a grizzly bear out there somewhere.

Terry was a Nam vet who was a helicopter pilot and could fly anything.He held a speed boat race record and used to own the Harley dealership here from the 1970’ until about 1993.I heard his wife just left him in the past week.He was sentenced to 1 year and one day in jail in 2010 and had been out for 3 weeks.He used to have a federal gun license and had let it expire and was arrested for the automatic weapons he still had.He must’ve just snapped is all I can say.They have had the animals for decades.
