You seem to be wasting your time trying to state the facts!
I doubt they wanted to kill the animals for the hell of it!

Probably would not have waited so long outside of Waco either. :)
Who ever let the animals loose was just giving the finger to everyone else....don’t know if it was the guy that owned them or some peta person that he notified he was going to off hiimself...
“trigger happy cops”....what a dork you are...I didn’t read about you out capturing them and saving them...coward...
Ask the guys that live on death row for decades...
Hey, thats my lunch...
Have see video of animals being darted in a zoo cage so that they can be taken out for operations. Even at that sometimes it takes 2 darts by an expert...on a CAGED animal. What is wrong with some of these nutz on these threads? and like democrats, they vote...yikes
You really should just drop it. Your sounding not too smart as you should be able to tell by the answers to your posts....Beauty fades, but stupid last forever...Ron Whites line in his comedy act....
Not frustrating, just plain impossible.
It was the owner. The PETA freaks wouldn’t do that because I think they are smart enough to know the County Mounties would shoot the animals.
