[QUOTE="cmhbob, post: 1641465, member: 20220"] I used to live in Columbus not far from here. Jack Hanna, a nationally known animal expert/advocate backed up law enforcement on what they did. One tranq attempt was made, on a tiger, I think. The animal charged the vet after the tranq hit, and had to be shot at close range. It was getting dark. The SO had limited resources to cover the basic emergency, and next to no resources to tranq and transport the animals. I think they made the right call. Tragedy, yes. Avoidable, probably. The most recent charges that sent him to prison were federal weapons charges. He had previously been cited over the animal conditions though, and whenever the local humane officer went out, he went with three deputies due to safety concerns. A human life was wasted as well. Don't lose sight of that. I've looked into that abyss, and was able to step back from the edge. It's a dark, frightening, ugly place to be. [/QUOTE]
