    This morning on the news - the widow will be getting the rest of the animals that were captured...

    Apparently, over $70,000 in back taxes and lots of other issues surrounded his suicide.

    This incident might put me over the edge and plunge me into a sea of nihilism......................(humans are parasites and a plague)

    But, this guy should be off the hook right? And anyone else who abuses animals, right?

    ohio and missouri apparently have very lax laws regarding the keeping of wild animals...
    And will continue because our pussy repub governor wont do more than say theres already athourity in place with Animal control depts.

    Even went on to (reprtedly joke) "we cant invent laws"......

    Our outgoing Governor had a seemingly good start on changing things right before Kasich took office. Kasich allowed that exec order to expire.

    lifted from the article above

    Unlike an order signed by his predecessor, Gov. Ted Strickland, which Kasich allowed to expire, the new order does not ban ownership or sale of wild animals, or require registration. Kasich said that would require changes in state law to be proposed later this year.

    “Governors can’t just invent laws,” Kasich said at a Statehouse news conference. “I really wish I could have the power to invent any law I want,” he said, joking.

    This is why only professional and licensed organizations should be allowed to keep large, exotic and dangerous animals.

    Yes! The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee, for example, is very careful and skilled in their care taking.

    But even more so, another reason to stop destroying and encroaching on wildlife's natural habitat. Here's one organization that's doing a great job at trying to reverse that, The Wildlands Network:

    That story sickened me and broke my heart at the same time.

    How dare you, motherfucker? You want to kill yourself, fine. Leave the innocents alone.

    I'm a huge supporter of Big Cat Rescue - working for them would be my dream job (or for Perverted Justice, but that's another story).

    Yes, I look at lion and leopard cubs and just want to nuzzle their bellies and eat them UP they're so goddamned adorable - but to have one as a pet?

    Beyond irresponsible.

    This story in Esquire http://www.esquire.com/features/zanesville-0312 is as harrowing of an account of that night that I've read. Really good writing.
