It’s Halloween! For the occasion, we are sharing the extraordinary story of how wild animals – including lions, tigers, and bears – were found roaming free in a residential area, leaving the police with no option.
In October 2011, the sleepy town of Zanesville, Ohio, became the centre of a media storm when 56 exotic animals started roaming the streets. Faced with an out-of-control situation posing a serious risk to the public, the police shot dead 48 of the creatures, including 18 tigers, 17 lions and 8 bears. The animals all belonged to Mr Terry Thompson, who was later found dead on his farm, partially eaten.

lol they didnโt even spare the baboons life
coroner's report cause of death – homicide
That man was killed & this was staged! A true reporter would pull that! I seen the autopsy report today! Don't take my word for it! Get that report! Blogger
How did he get all the tigers ? Fool of a man
What the owner did was awful. H e put hundresds of lives at risk, but even worse he put the lives of his exotic "pets" at risk and they paid with theirs lives. Suicide is a long term answwr to a short term problem. He was evil
Why didn't the police just tranquilize the animals instead of killing them? At least then, the animals could be sent to zoos instead of 6ft underground.
Thompson was to blame. But then somebody should have stopped him hoarding this exotic animals. There must be a law regarding such.
Did Terry cut them.loose intentionally
Firstly how did that go unchecked, the cages and amount are ridiculous and wrong and how did he even get those animals
Iโm just imagining that monkey
Filthy so called animal lovers crying just because they were living away from that area๐ bravo for authority who saved human life a single human life is more important than thousand of animals
Question is that y state allowing people to keep these danger animals in their private property
Should be a law against having exotic pets
shouldn't have shot the ones on the property, they were staying in their cages. Maybe should have approach the property with more intelligence in mind by considering the wild animals there and waiting for tranquilizers instead of walking around shooting everything.
May the soul of the person never rest in peace who was solely responsible for the killing of so many innocent animals ๐ก๐ก
Ohne Kontrolle wird so etwas immer wieder geschehen, in einem kranken Land mit kranken Menschen.
I live in Ohio and remember this day well. It was said that someone who worked for him said that the cops didn't like him and set it up to look like he killed himself and let the animals out. The worker said that. But it has never been proven.
Yeah this was a tragedy.
How did he get those ani animals? Was horrified when I was told you can buy lion cubs on line in some states๐ข
Thereโs always gonna be Karenโs
People like Thomson are never allowed to have pets ….. He costed his life and those innocent animals …. He is such a terrible person . I feel so bad for the officers who had to do that with no other choice ๐
The cops did the right thing. Those animals were far too dangerous to take any chances with.
They couldnโt contain one wolf I get the other things but one wolf call the pound
It was a dark an stormy night . . . . . .
Worst country ever who thinks everything revolves around them and then act like they are so compassionate
Who gives right to these Americans to take animals out of there habitat for there attraction and having these cops putting them down โฆ

โI was kind of skeptical at first.โ You can tell he loves his job. I say that all the time .
I work with animal control officers. They often tell us that sometimes you have to take drastic and undesired measures in order to ensure safety to the public. A case like this one was always doomed to result in mass casualties. It's considered a hoarding case, and those often end up with tragic endings. They care about the animals, that's why they do it. Until there are laws in place to regulate the exotic pet trade, this kind of thing will happen again.
