- The blame begins with Thompson. He had to have enough sense to know that throwing the cages open would lead to the animals being killed. Obviously there were viable alternatives to shoot-to-kill. The animals weren't likely to roam too far. However, a sheriff's department simply is not set up for sophisticated operations required for something like this. More effort should have been made to capture, but under base systems, the sheriff did what he had to do.

- I have many thoughts on this. First of all why was an obviously dangerous and mentally ill man allowed to have all these animals? Ohio obviously has no animal protection laws. Also, looking at my Sheriff's Department - look at the people who take this job, low pay, not the brightest and most of them power crazy and mentally challenged. I bet they were out there having a good ol' time shooting these "beasts". Heck, a free canned hunt. Why didn't they do something about that place before this tragedy. I hope they all rot in hell and never have another good day in their lives. As for Ohio, and this rotten town, I hope you will all pay for this. Why weren't people told to stay indoors until the animals could be captured. Like I said before, they seized the moment for a safari. Ohio rednecks. My next concern is - where are all the animal protection groups like Defenders and WWF? I have not heard peep from them. Oh, I forgot, they are too busy this time of year sending out materials and bugging people for money. Shame on you! This incident shows again how humanity as a whole has deteriorated. May be mother nature will decide before too long that a 7 Billion pest can no longer be tolerated on this planet.

Sheriff, many Americans are already angry with you and your moronic staff for the reprehensible way you handled this situation. Suggest you shut your mouth and quit reminding us that you dimwitted cretins even exist. - Reply to this comment

- I don't think the monkey was eaten. Judging by comments like yours, I'm pretty sure it found a computer somewhere and is posting on this board.
- lol,, you would be the same idiot complaining the sheriffs didnt do their job if a child was killed by one of them. They did what they had to do. Its called commom sense,,try some.

Sparkling comeback there, Hoss. I wasn't aware computers were allowed in schools for the retarded. :-)
- Hey idiot, what did you want them to do? Let the tigers run loose and eat your kids???? Are you kidding me? Keep your mouth shut until you have the facts.
- 1. If this idiot had gotten drunk and drove around town running over people or randomly shooting people would there be an outcry to ban guns, booze and cars? How often does something like this happen? Not enough to justify a blanket ban on exotic animals.... Stupid, crazy, desperate people are always going to find some way to cause problems
2. This is big news because of the type of animals involved but what if it had been 56 vicious Rottweilers that the guy turned loose? Would we then ban dogs? which incidentally injure and kill way more people per year than "exotic" animals..... at least a lot of these animals probably had a good deal of fear for people and were probably so stressed, scared and disoriented at being out of their cages that most posed little threat to people and could be dealt with quickly.
4. The tigers killed were most likely not RARE Bengal tigers but generic tigers aka "mutts", mixtures of different races, no traceable lineage, basically considered of no value to legitimate breeding or conservation programs, like the difference betwwen a purebred Siamese cat vs. your average alley cat..... - Reply to this comment

- 1. Drunk driving happens ALL the time, which is why there are REGULATIONS like blood alcohol content to determine the level of negligence, which is based on the research that analyzes the level of risk to the public. Your comparison is flawed.
2. Exotic animals are not domesticated animals. They are used to entirely different environment and mode of survival. Bringing Rottweilers into the discussion only shows your level ignorance when it comes to breed discrimination as well.
3. You skipped three. Bravo, genius.
4. So? Even if you are right, potential for extinction isn't the only reason to have protections for these animals. It is no less cruel to keep a dog in a crate its whole life than it is to keep a Tiger (of any lineage) in captivity when it was meant to roam the forests of another continent and climate. And it is no less tragic when one of them is shot in cold blood, than if your pet were.

- We kept reading that among the animals were one or more giraffes and camels, but no giraffe or camel is mentioned among those killed or captured. Giraffes and camels would be pretty unlikely to be threatening. Anyone know what happened to them?

- I think they should do that to all threats to well being in this country...are you guys sick in the head?? Where's the monkey?? Was he on the invoice? Is that why they think there was a monkey? Looks like the owner took his own like to redeem himself for what he did. Why don't they call in the appropriate authorities to handle situations like escaped animals?

- I don't blame the police for this. They needed to protect the people, and they didn't have time to explore alternatives with lions and tigers on the loose and possibly escaping. It is the fault of the owner, who let them out, and the fault of the state of Ohio for allowing someone to keep 18 tigers and a whole menagerie. It is shameful, and those laws should be revised asap.
