Its a shame most had to be killed but the lions and Tigers could have been serious trouble with nearby schools. The story says there is a mountain Lion a bear and a monkey still on the loose..

I heard someone came to his has and shot him then let the animals out. The victim had a bullet hole in his back.? not sure though. Also a gorilla attacked a lady and she had to get plastic surgery done... A grizzly bear still lose is bad news

Sad day for sure. The man I heard was having some real trouble's and I guess it all came to. Looks like are Govener is now going to pass some wild animal law about owning these kind of animals . Wish they could have saved most , but hey safty first. And the radio today said the monkey has hep B. Hope they shoot that one soon . Lol  Crazy how fast now the Columbus zoo would take em when the people that owned the animals couldn't find a zoo .

I cant wait to here the urban legends that come from this in the next few years.."Hunter sees Lion", "Tiger seen chasing deer", "Monkey steals tractor and robs liquor store" Yeah it's comin..better than bigfoot.

Just want to let all of you know it was not this Terry Thompson that did that, I am still alive and kicking. No animal would ever make me take my own life. Had a lot of friends call to see if I had moved to OHIO,told them nope still in Florida. LOL

Saw a few crazy photos of this and heard an interview with law enforcement. The Sheriff (I think) sounded like he had a tough night.
