To All:
It broke my heart to see the animals had to be put down, but knowing that Jack Hanna said it was unavoidable we here in Ohio take that to heart. We know how much Jack hurt from the loss of the animals, but they did what they had to do. Jack is getting threats from nut cases who do not know how much Jack is loved and trusted here in Ohio.
Jack is working with Gov. Kasich to get the law changed so this does NOT happen again! With Jack Hannah’s help, you can bet it will be done!
From my understanding when the LEO arrived at the farm there were several animals being aggressive with the owners body. Moreover, they noticed many of the animals all over the farm out of their cages. At that point the LEO had no other choice but to shoot to kill the animals.
I know one big cat made it to the freeway which is close by and it was hit by a car on the freeway. I believe it was interstate 70. Moreover, they found one of the bears running towards the same freeway and they had to shoot it before it when on the interstate. I am 60 miles away and it made me very uneasy knowing they were on the loose. Where my hubby works (which was closer out in the open) were all put on alert and on the lookout. Just so sad it had to come to this.
Here is a link if you want to read up on it.
