CNN carrying story of release of five exotic animals
to their owner's wife in Zanesville.  The director
is against it, since he saw the deplorable conditions all of the
animals were living in when their owner released 50-some
in October. Forty-eight were killed when they were outside
the compound, threatening safety of citizens.  Owner then
committed suicide at the compound.  These five
were captured and taken to the zoo.

Nice evening....80 degrees....but we're
awaiting a storm cell a little later....

No way to know if this is a different family....this one has
only four goslings......

Proud and protective parents!

 

The goose family is complete!!  Five
goslings survived !

This goose family DOES have at least
one gosling tonight.....hidden under her
body/wings at this time..!  They are
very protective, so I didn't get too close!
