It's such a shame that these exotic animals were killed but the choice to protect human life was priority with the law enforcement officials. A very scary situation and very sad, too.

There are several states who do not have laws on the books about keeping exotic animals. This is the saddest thing I hav seen in a while. The news was full of photos of dead lions and tigers. I hope we get a law soon to prohibit this type of thing.

Why are people allowed to keep these beautiful wild animal on their farms or whatever they call them? I feel there should be laws prohibiting people to have them. If they cannot be left in the wild where they belong, at least put them in a zoo, not in your back yard.

I wish they'd stop showing the dead animals piled up...it makes me sick that this person had all these exotic animals...When are we going to have a law in this country that exotic animals are not allowed here...it's really disgusting...

To think he is getting death threats because he said officers, had no choice! I see a live interview w/him- it will haunt him ALWAYS, but he realizes HUMAN life must be protected! I'm sure he will help PUSH OHIO to curb our exotic animal laws. We have the most loose laws in the country, for owning them. No reg citizen needs to own these exotics, it only puts the animals & PEOPLE at risk! SUCH A TRAGEDY ON ALL POINTS!
