That is pretty much what the handler said to the news tonight.The only thing was it was the time of day.If it had been light he may have been able to get the wild cats back since most had been raised since they were cubs there.He said though that the bears and wolf had to be put down.
I only know that in the situation I found myself involved in, the police decided to execute a cow that wouldn’t have been dangerous even if it had been dark and it was in a cranky mood. I wasn’t at this slaughter so I don’t know if it was justified or not.
