Caution Exotic Animals
Guy with sleazy exotic animal farm in Zanesville Ohio lets all animals loose & kills himself. Dozens of loose animals including Bengal tigers are shot. Animal rights people went nuts. But put yourself in the shoes of the local sheriff. It was late in the day. He couldn't ascertain exactly how many or what kinds of animals were free. Grizzly bears. Mountain lions. Monkeys. You know how to escape from a mountain lion that chooses you as prey? You don't, because it's behind you & leaps on your back. It's rare, but every so often a jogger in California finds this out.
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas Jefferson
