re: #34 OhNoZombies!

Local news says the guy couldn’t afford them, so he set them free before killing himself. Jack Hanna (Columbus zoo) said the property was a mess and someone was going to get killed.
Lions, tiger, wolves, baboons, etc.
Ohio has no laws or regulations against keeping wild animals.

I found this. So, they’re doing something.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Humane Society of the United States applauds Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland for issuing an executive order that prohibits keeping dangerous wild animals as pets. The rule bans new private ownership of big cats, bears, primates, alligators, crocodiles, and particularly large and dangerous constricting snakes and venomous snakes. Individuals who currently possess these animals and who have never had their licenses revoked may keep them, but they must register with the state and microchip the animals. They cannot replace them once they die or are relinquished.
