Rewrite, rewrite, reports yesterday, cops arrived at house found wild animals lose and they started shooting, called for back up, then sheriff called zoo. Many animals were dead by that time, the zoo came and got the grass eaters, the monkey is what they told the cop to shoot, first wild animal report was from neighbor that had a giraffe in her yard. Now that was what was reported yesterday and it started before lunch.

It started at 5:30 PM Tuesday. And there were never any giraffes. The first call was for a bear and a lion.

From the Columbus Dispatch:

Sam Kopchak Jr. was heading to the small pasture on his property to bring in his horse for the night when he noticed horses on the adjoining property running as though they were scared.

Then his own horse became skittish.

First he spied what he figured was the cause of the horses’ distress: a lone black bear in the neighboring field.

He calmed his own horse and said he wasn’t terribly concerned because the black bear was pretty far away.

Then he saw a huge male lion about 30 feet away on the other side of the simple wire fence that divided his property from his neighbor’s.

Kopchak, 64, said he carefully — but quickly — led his horse toward the barn. As he stepped inside, he looked back.

That’s when he saw a tiger chasing the horses next door and a lioness pacing the fence line.

Kopchak slammed the barn door shut, pulled out his cellphone and called his mother.

“I told her, ‘We’ve got a serious problem. Call 911. All the animals are out.’  ”

I will simply say that you are misinformed and leave it at that.
