That picture is terrible. I didn't kill that many animals in 100 hours of Red Dead...

Keep deregulating it's working well...

[mooby]

Damn. That's just wrong.

Judging from the pic it is hard to imagine (and some large zoo's in the general area) that some qualified people could not have been rounded up to tranq most of these guys. I mean how many hours had they been out and they are still in the area?
It wasn't like jailbreak in the animal world. Frequently when an animal gets out of it's enclosure under similar circumstances, more often than not it just wants to get back its "home" and will try to get back voluntarily
OH WELL......just animals, right?
What a damn disgrace........

Here's the tally (all killed):

18 bengal tigers
17 african lions
6 black bears
3 mountain lions
2 grizzly bears
2 wolves
1 baboon

Horrible, considering how few bengal tigers are left in the world.

From the article Matty posted:

Among their goals:

• Determining the cause and circumstances of a bite wound on Thompson's head, a wound believed to have occurred within seconds of his suicide.
• Finding out who released a graphic photo of animal carcasses piled up outside the 73-acre Muskingum County Animal Farm in Ohio. "There was no employee of mine that had any authorization to release that photo," Lutz said.
• Protecting the farm property from people who have flooded the Sheriff's Department with requests for the carcasses, presumably to take them to a taxidermist to be stuffed and displayed. Authorities are also investigating reports that two people were nabbed trying to steal one of the carcasses; they say that anyone caught trying to unearth the animals from their mass grave at the farm will face swift punishment.
• Supervising the prospect of Thompson's wife trying to regain custody of the animals captured at the facility, including a grizzly bear, three leopards and two monkeys.
• Defending law enforcement's actions to the animal rights activists that have been calling and emailing the Sheriff's Department to complain that officers should have found a better way to handle the situation instead of the mass killing of so many animals.
• Dealing with the emotional fallout for officers who were thrust into duties they weren't trained to handle -- the forced execution of one animal after another. Then they had to explain it all to their children, whom Lutz said could face taunting and harassment at school.

So I wouldn't point the finger at the cop who pulled the trigger maybe more like their commanding officer.

From the movie I quoted earlier in this thread the lead character on the police side of the film said and I thought it was well said:

As soon as you take ownership of a exotic pet you have signed either the death warrant for yourself the animal or both of you.

Please someone watch that film I love to talk hear someone's view on it.

That's just ****ing wrong. Now I don't know all the details or how the animals were acting upon release, but if they weren't being hostile they should've been tranq'd. Why punish the animals for one prick's stupidity?
