Authorities killed 49 exotic animals near Zanesville, Ohio that were released from a wildlife sanctuary by their owner shortly before he committed suicide in October. Law enforcement officials killed rare Bengal tigers, lions, wolves, bears and a baboon that wondered the rural area. The potential danger from the prowling forced local schools to cancel classes, but there were no human injuries reported.
Neighbors had complained about Terry Thompson's menagerie before, saying that animals were noisy and occasionally escaped.
