The animals are all accounted for. Sadly, all except a few had to be killed so
that they wouldn't escape into the community. With only 1.5 hours of
daylight remaining, to capture or take down all the escapees was of utmost
importance. Good job, Muskingum County law enforcement officers, for
your protection of your community! Several animals were captured and taken
to the Columbus Zoo. Jack Hanna is in agreement with the actions taken,
even though he is very sad that this destruction of animal life was necessary.
Governor Kasich has enacted a temporary measure to control ownership
of exotic animals by individuals. He allowed the past measure to lapse....

The authorities believe there are two animals still on the loose: a wolf and a monkey. Officials did a great job of protecting human lives, but all are sorry these animals needed to be put down. I believe they said 18 Bengal tigers....18!! A tragedy, to be sure; but a necessary action for the safety of the community.
It seems there are still maybe 3 animals still not accounted for....a mountain lion, a bear, and a monkey. Owner may have opened cages before taking his own life. More story re. his recent release from prison, etc. A very interesting story. If you don't live in Ohio, can probably see the article somewhere on line by googling "exotic animals loose in Ohio." WBNS-TV in Columbus also would have the story.

ZANESVILLE, Ohio - Several schools announced that they will not have school on Wednesday after exotic animals escaped a Muskingum County animal farm.
The schools are: Maysville Local Schools, Zanesville City Schools, Foxfire Community Schools and West Muskingum Local Schools.
Police said they had shot at least 25 of at least 48 escaped exotic animals on Tuesday night.
Terry Thompson, the owner of the farm, was found dead outside of his home on the animal farm property.
Police said the fences had been left unsecured.
According to police, the animals escaped at about 6 p.m. from an animal farm near Kopchak Road.
Police would not comment on what animals escaped but said the animal farm did have lions, wolves, cheetahs, tigers, giraffes, camels, grizzly bears and black bears.
“It’s been a bad situation for a long time and the last thing we want to do is to have any of our public hurt,” said Muskingum Sheriff Matt Lutz. “No young kids should go outside tonight.”
According to police, bears and wolves had been shot and killed.
There were multiple sightings of exotic animals along Interstate 70, police said.
Muskingum Sheriff Matt Lutz said resident safety is his primary concern.
“We want our citizens to take any and all precautions they can tonight,” said Lutz. “Our number one priority is nobody gets hurt out of this ordeal. This is a bad situation.”
Police said staff from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and The Wilds were on scene, hoping to tranquilize the animals and return them to safety.
The Licking County Sheriff's Office said they had received at least four reports of exotic animal sightings at about 11 p.m. on Tuesday.
As a precaution the Licking County Sheriff's Office said they had activated members of its SWAT team who were equipped with night vision and the weapons necessary to deal with the animals.
