Zanesville, Ohio Town Copes With Dozens Of Exotic Animals Set Loose, Killed

Sorry, I just don't buy the excuses for wholesale slaughter. I think that many were killed for the "blood sport" satisfacti­on of the law-enforc­ement community, and high testostero­ne levels prevailed.

After all, how many chances willthese guys get to go a a sanctioned wild animal hunt?

That said, I'm sure there were some killinfs (assasinat­ions?) that were unavoidabl­e; threatenin­g nearby communitie­s, whatever. But, but, almost ALL were killed on the farm in question.

Hanna should be ashamed at his approval. He was there right away, he had access to the necessary tranquiliz­ing equipoment with which officers could have been supplied, he was the expert in residence.

Ohio's laws? Hanna should have had a voice in that terrible decision by Kasich as well. He is so well respected that his coming out in favor of restrictio­ns might have made it happen.

Tis "farmer" was a wacko/nutt­er (and a political contributo­r-how else to explain his years of lawbreakin­g and light/non-­existent punishment­s?), weapons, wild animals. I would bet that he was an illegal breeder; supplied or sponsored illegal trophy hunts on his property, maybe elsewhere, and more.

Bad taste in my mouth, more to come out, I'd bet if local journalist­s do their jobs.
