The Early Show - Jack Hanna on Ohio animal tragedy

[cantilever]

Good Lord...I've never seen Jack Hanna have such a grim, sad expression on his face...he looks devastated...

[Shonaripa]

it's never explained why he killed himself

[odenrz]

THUMBS UP IF YOU WATCHIG THE BEARS IN THE BACKGROUND

[freakinstein69]

I think it's funny he released the animals. 

[mrslovelace]

Already has a "depository" in the makes? Was this ALL planned?

Refused to help Mr. Thompson when he asked if the zoo or the wilds could take some of the animals!

JACK HANNA YOU SUCK!!!!!!!

[paulrowe1990]

Jack hanna you suck, dont think we are going to let you get away with murder. Joe Exotic is on your ass like stink on shit

[tatedarius1]

Jack Hannah said that this was the 9/11 of the animal world. Fuck you Jack Hadumbass! To even make a comparison to 9/11 regarding this makes you a fucking moron.

[SICKNASTY2007]

@tatedarius1 LOL. Yeah, because he made the comparison of one devastating event to describe another devastating event of a different type. Pretty accurate comparison I'd say.

[mrslovelace]

Give me a break!! jack hanna was a mentor to Terry Thompson, they knew each other! hanna is a complete idiot!!!!!

[3ISAMAGICNUMBR]

@Paanniic uhhhh what the fuck does that have anything to do with what I just said. Stop hating on America just cause your life in Iran sucks so much.

[Johnnymushio]

So, when the animals escaped they all ran away in a pack of 50. Yeah. No. They could have saved at least a few of them.

[theowlsnest]

WHY? They could have just fed the animals food with tranquilizers - a well fed animal will not attack!

there were enough cars- tractors- vehicles to coral the animals and feed them !

BEARS AND WOLFS (WOOFS?) are NATURAL to Ohio!

People interact with "wild" animals all the time ... Here is a Video Example0 cut n paste: watch?v=SGUupZZQgnA

Total FEAR and PANIC by Jack ( the wildlife pimp!) and the Sheriff led to a Media Frenzy ! MindLess Slaughter of Rare endangered animals ~

[lamrimeater]

i dont care what the people say.... People over animals... thats annoying me. we are equals and should treat animals as such despite difference in views. this is very karmic, not just the killing of the animals, but the fact they were treated like this, they were hoarded, they were not allowed to be animals. if the state of Ohio will allow these things to happen they need to have better emergency preparation!

[MsMegamathy]

Now they were attacked, no excuse, sorry, we all have a choice and looking at all those dead beautiful souls it just kill me.

R.I.P. beautiful souls, once again I am ashamed to be a part of humanity.

[kaytiya100]

I love this guy! <3 He's my new hero

[DriftyAlison0]

Thank you Jack Hanna for doing what you had to do. I am so sorry for the hate mail that you have received. All involved in this situation did what they had to do. They couldn't do anything else.

[screenpuller]

@pirateZevelyn, i'm a big believer in don't get a pet that can potentially eat you. At least my cat will wait til i'm dead before she goes all buffet on me. XD But seriously, yeah, how DID this guy get these animals? Even young, they're not cheap... & the cost of feeding them! laws NEED to be made, outlaw the possession of dangerous exotics to the general public & come down hard on these sellers!

[nicolekay03]

Hopefully Ohio tightens the regulations on people keeping wild animals as pets. I blame the loose laws for this incident. Shame shame.

[nicolekay03]

People actually think that sacrificing a few human lives would be worth saving a few wild animals?! Let it be their own child, family member, or self in harms way....and see how quickly their tune changes. Unbelievable. I love animals... but I believe they did the right thing.

[pirateZevelyn]

something i just realized why are they conforting and feeling bad for guys wife? did she not live with him? did she not see the way the animals were being treated? yes i'm sorry she lost her husband, but isn't she just as guilty? and i heard he had been in trouble before for some of them excaping, they shoulda been taken away then

[pirateZevelyn]

omg could you imagine going out to work or school or whatever, in america, in the year 2011 and getting attacked by tigers and w/e else. I feel sorry for the animals and the police. I don't think people should own wild animals, and seeing as how it seems its still going to be allowed, they should at least have to see a therapist and have frequent inspections.

[erislaton]

Fuck all them animals, they took mercy on just shooting them. I would have blew the mother fuckers up with bombs and as for the lions, I would have put one in a head lock and choked it out. Fucking mullet having beast!!!

[hopingtoflyaway]

Why are people even allowed to collect exotic animals?

[apocalypse123]

I live in Ohio. Fuck.

[pirateZevelyn]

@apocalypse123 lol, don't worry they caught everything but a monkey....and they think one of the tigers ate it

[mangokoolaid]

@Paanniic Yeah ya mother fucker you wish for 9/11 to happen to us again, bet you fucking live in america because this is the land of the free... that's why millions of wet backs come into this country and feed off of us like parasites. Or you live in some poor fucking nation that BEGS for AMERICA to help them like the rest of the fucking world does.

[brianstacync]

Thank you Jack Hanna for the many decades of loving what you do and sharing your passion with the people.

You are a class act and always have been.

[EveHarvester]

I am glad that he touched on the fact of the owner itself and question the owner of the exotic animals. The fact that man COULD own that many animals, let alone have them abused is a crime.

As for those that are upset with the deaths of the animals, understand that likely the option was to either sacrifice the animals or lives of innocent civilians.

[HawaiianRockChick07]

This is such a tragic end to a tragic event. In all honesty, it was a lose-lose situation. Kill or be killed. No one was prepared for this many wild, exotic animals to be on the loose in America. I think that the police ultimately did what they had to, to protect their home, as this is also where their families and their children live. It's so sad that so many animals had to die, but ultimately the one to blame for this is the man who owned all the animals. And now he can't pay for his actions.

[xy2z1997]

There is nothing that can be done with this, being angry for the killing of these animals is also wrongful. They did the best that they could do. They -had- to kill them, they had no choice. If they didn't, the people would have died.

[Sismiques]

@xy2z1997

What makes you think these people would have died?

There are wild animals native to the Americas that are related to some of these animals, and they don't go out of their way purposely to attack humans.

[xy2z1997]

@Sismiques pack of animals, scared, running around, people in front of them. Animals when scared sometimes attack. These are also predatory, dominant animals.

[michaelw352]

I live about 20 minutes away from Zanesville,Ohio. Lucky me.

[howdywest]

We humans are horrible. we bring the animals from wild , put them in zoo and when they leave we kill them for self defense. arent we cowards.

[nicole55024]

And this is why we should just leave wild animals the fuck ALONE. Leave them be. They're meant to be out in the WILD. God, I wish they'd just get rid of zoos. Our race is so selfish it's unbelievable.

[pirateZevelyn]

@nicole55024 i agree wholeheartedly

[speedfreak3721]

he talks soooo fast !!!



[screenpuller]

A parakeet! A parakeet never mauled nobody! Or a hedgehog... when was the last time someone was devoured by a hedgehog? Goldfish, hamsters, they're fairly safe... if you have to have an exotic pet, why not a sloth? You could at least outrun it if it menaced you! Exotic pets... bah!

[screenpuller]

How many bengal tigers are left in the wild? And this fool had HOW many? Those poor animals deserved better & the blame lies squarely on that idiots shoulders... commited suicide.... coward! I mean, really, can't you just get a freakin' cat... or a dog? Heck, even a damn FERRET, but c'mon, LIONS? TIGERS?

[pirateZevelyn]

@screenpuller not just his. If you think about it, who allowed him to have them to begin with?!

[TheBoricuaJohn]

fuckin dumbass killed himself after opening the cages putting lives in danger, i feel sorry for the animals

[StefanSu91]

JACK HANNA YOU ARE A REAL MAN

[someone5778]

damn ass redneck sheriff wasent smart enough to think better than killing these inccoent animals omg american life in danger we had too dumb americans

[leedaomillz]

I don't blame the police, I blame the asshole who killed himself.

[MartynTheSpartyn]

The whole thing is just a mess, this is why people shouldnt be permitted to own exotic animals, or at least should be held to far higher standards than they are.

[cosmopolitanidol]

Wow...Donde esta la calidad de proteccion a favor de los animales en un pais tan democratico. como la vida de animales y/o de cementerios son propiedad de un particular. que plan regulador tan inescrupuloso, el dinero realmente lo compra, cuando hay resultados tan ambiguos, y desastrosos, a manos de cualquier " Puto millonario con la capacidad de mensar de un "monky"" o simio, con el respeto que merece el animal..Yo pienso que el tipo fue un idiota, pero real%^ son los q, autorizan...

[MrRandomilikehotgirl]

Jack Hanna is a badass

[wintersnoob]

Well I always thought that both the law, the moron that hosted the exotic animals and the sheriff department were to blame...but this guy kinda opened my eyes...Though I still believe things could have gone a little smoother.

[Sismiques]

The policeman incharge of this should be in prison!

Where were the animal contol officers?

Why no tranquilizers?

Why no bait and trap?

[SigurdHeathen]

@Sismiques

Did you even watch the video?

[Sismiques]

@SigurdHeathen

Yes, and it is a lame excuse!

They made no serious attempt to capture the animals alive.

They should have st up bait traps, and if they didn't have enough tranqs, they should have gotten assistance from Game Commissions from other states and other animal expert, not some inexperienced itchy trigger finger doughnut eater.

This was like telling a fireman to inestigate a bank robbery.

[mandm4evah]

@Sismiques I don't think it is a lame excuse! I live an hour or 2 away from there! & I don't want to die for an animals sake! they may have feelings,but they do NOT have a spirit! I would have been terrified if they just waited for them to take the bait, maybe you should re-listen to this video, & actually think about this, also my nephew lives even CLOSER to where this was, I had NO IDEA that anyone in Ohio could get away w/ having tigers etc.

[Sismiques]

@mandm4evah

"they may have feelings,but they do NOT have a spirit! "

Who told you this?

Allah, Jesus, Buhda?

Maybe you should get a cat of your own and learn their behaviours.

Ohio's law enfircement is apparently run by unprofessional morons.

They should have met with the owner before hand and had a plan.

Had this been Pennsylvania, the Game Comission and SPCA would have been able to save many more animals.

[qsxxsq2]

@Sismiques Just shut the fuck up already.

[Sismiques]

@qsxxsq2

Јебем ти све по-списку!

[BuckeyeForLiife]

@Sismiques You're an idiot

[beastological]

@Sismiques he specifically said why they didnt use tranquilizers, and even if it ws some sort of super hero animal control squad, they could trap 34 large animals like these while they wer conscious. also, a bait and trap would probably take ages for such a large number of animals, so as he said there was nothing else to be done.

[Sismiques]

@beastological

How the hell do you think they capture animals for a zoo in the first place?

They were looking for the qucik way out of the situation.

He said "only 4 tranquilizer guns".

Well if you only have 4, you should get other groups that have more.

Theres been plenty of other instnaces where animals were captured alive.

[beastological]

@Sismiques well for zoos thy usually find animals that are either singled out or at most in small packs, not 50 various large animals. im not trying to argue or start a troll war or anything like that, i was just clarifying. plus, more people with tranquilizers is more likely to be more human deaths and not much more animals saved

[themajormarco]

@Paanniic cool story bro

[PaulKJHarris]

So let's see... a mentally deranged suicidal man lets dozens of deadly man-eating predators loose and because the police had to shoot the animals to prevent them from killing people the cops are the bad guys? Really? I'm guessing they weren't prepared with tranquilizer dart guns for FIFTY ANIMALS because something like this had NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. This is a tragedy on multiple levels and that is all it is. I feel sorry for the cops on this one who did their duty and hated it.

[kachunski]

I agree with Jack Hanna. I thought the same thing when I heard about it. I actually thought that the police were just waiting to unleash their weapons on the animals. assholes.

[Monte3207]

he said if they didn't act, lives would have been lost. don't you think 49 dead animals is lives lost? were they not alive?

[SigurdHeathen]

@Monte3207

His words were "major loss of human life". Sorry to tell you, but human lives are more important than animal lives. (I'm sure you'll try to debate that point, Mr. PETA.)

[Monte3207]

@SigurdHeathen no. i won't debate it. I have my opinion. you have your's. go call someone else PETA.

[TheCruzProduction]

hundreds of thousands of dollars...wtf you could buy a lot of homeless people food with that money..stupid fucking tree huggers

[Achilles32094]

@Paanniic Caps lock much. Calm the fuck down and stop grouping all of Americans with the ones that are war mongers. Why do you think there are mass protests in all major cities nationwide in America? Because most of us are fed up with our government as well. We're all in the same boat!

[3ISAMAGICNUMBR]

@Paanniic clearly, you are an idiot. This is an AMERICAN talking about how horrible this is. Let me repeat, AN AMERICAN. Which by simple thinking shows that Americans feel horrible about this. And plus we aren't the only ones destroying the world, would about china well all of Asia pretty much.

[OfficiallyaBasedGod]

@Paanniic I own a fucking wolf. U jelly?

[SnazzyJam]

These poor animals had no idea of what was going on.... Who is there right mind should be aloud to have that man animals on there property especially those kind. most of them arent even native to this land and should have been takin better care of. those tigers are endangered animals. the cops who shot them should be arrested. they could of set up a quarentine and shot the animals with tranquilizer guns. shooting them animals absolutely horrible.

[Araclain]

@SnazzyJam Except 50 animals is still less than one human life. I'm sorry, but saying otherwise is bullshit. Its sad, but they HAD to die. These animals would kill a person, and don't think otherwise.

[SigurdHeathen]

@SnazzyJam

Did you even watch the video? Did you miss the words "major loss of human life"?

Yeah, let's arrest cops for doing their jobs... protecting us and our children...

[HokageNaruto96]

WTF!!!!!!!!!!

Poor Animals :(

[TheCruzProduction]

@HokageNaruto96 hahahahahahaha

[PGHYuDuG412]

fuck that it was either risk peoples lives or have sum dead animals on ur hands. one of the few times i agree with the cops.

[MrVerstingen]

@PGHYuDuG412 I really love how you just call them "Just Animals" Its so funny how ingorant, the humankind is wtf happend to "respecting" The nature like our ancenstor for thousands of years ago

[PGHYuDuG412]

@MrVerstingen becuz im a realist

[mandm4evah]

@MrVerstingen yeah right, would those hungry lions & tigers and grizzly bears "respected human life", nah I don't think so!When these animals stop being a threat to my living body, then they'll get more respect, they have to EARN it just like humans do!

[robzombiesbitch]

@mandm4evah What exactly do they need to do to earn respect? Stop natural behaviours? Help an old lady across the street. They couldve been tranquillised, the bloodbath was unnecessary. And amen to a change in the laws..

[Sismiques]

@robzombiesbitch

Right!

Even if there are no laws, the authorites should have already met with the owner to make plans incase of this.

[wyvernhail]

So terrible, so tragic. THIS BETTER NOT EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

Pure selfishness and they had to pay the price. 

[px4286]

F U COP HATERS! They did what they had to do. Also no one is as dedicated to the preservation of animals then Jack Hanna.

[honeywest48]

You idiots. This all was caused by a very sick man. None of this was the animals fault. A very, very sick man. And anyone who make fun of taking any life , is also a VERY sick person. I feel bad for your children. Because Ignorance breeds ignorance

[tomkes100douchebag]

@honeywest48 In 8 hours 49 out of the 50 animals were killed by cops. 98% had to be taken down? BULLSHIT The cops said fuck it and turned that berg into a killing field. Deal with it.

[BigJT2010]

i think all of you peta freaks should of rushed in and tried to talk down all of the animals. speak softly and nice and see if they will oblige since the police are getting condemned for doing their jobs and protecting HUMANS, id dont care what you think but the life of an animal does not compare to human life

[mangokoolaid]

@BigJT2010 Are you kidding me? A human life is more valuable? Why because we evolved to use our brain? Get the fuck outa here, ya know what take away that fancy gun and one on one with a lion, tiger, bear guess what? We are the INFERIOR species! Humans walk so tall but are so en-signification compared to nature. This was a fucking shame, to kill so many begal tigers when they are on the verge of being extinct. Just a shame.

[BigJT2010]

@mangokoolaid wow. you sicken me. essentially what your saying is youd rather feed your child or loved one to a tiger than kill it putting them on the same level as humans. go worship your animals you anti human fiend. 

[mandm4evah]

@mangokoolaid no Because God created us!

[tomkes100douchebag]

Fuck Hanna, he's more concerned about kissing the cops asses than those poor animals. Fire his ass and stop allowing him on tv.

[MadMilitiaMen]

@tomkes100douchebag Your a moron.

[tomkes100douchebag]

@MadMilitiaMen Why don't you and that globetrotting asshole Hanna march in a parade with you guns stuck up your asses?

[MadMilitiaMen]

@tomkes100douchebag Wow such an angry hippy. Now to protest your comment, i'm going to go outside and curbstomp the first kitten i see.

[tomkes100douchebag]

@MadMilitiaMen Good then maybe Hanna will ram his militia hickory stickup your ass. I hope that bitch is good for at least that. By the way, ya like wear fatigues and cum in them while ya sleep in the woods knowin it can't easily be detected? Wooo like real army boys. Ass fuck much during those fun times away from home?

[MadMilitiaMen]

@tomkes100douchebag Angry hippy is retarded too.

[tomkes100douchebag]

@MadMilitiaMen Did you let your GI Joe jerk Ken off when you were a kid? 

[Comeback64]

@MadMilitiaMen You're.

[MadMilitiaMen]

@Comeback64 You're a Grammer Nazi

[qsxxsq2]

@MadMilitiaMen *grammar

[MadMilitiaMen]

@qsxxsq2 Its a joke mate, see what i did there? Apparently not....

[Johnnymushio]

@MadMilitiaMen You're* a moron too.

[MadMilitiaMen]

@Johnnymushio I could have come up with a clever comment, but then i looked at your channel and i saw that you are bad enough already.

[Johnnymushio]

@MadMilitiaMen Because of the 13 year old's comments I leave up for the amusement of others. You did not come up with a clever comment because you are a moron. And looking at the channels of random YouTube people?

[MadMilitiaMen]

@Johnnymushio As i said your channel speaks for itself. Even better is the fact that you complained about word usage of your & you're. Yet your comment is nightmarish at best. Now, be a good little troll and move along. Cheers!

[Johnnymushio]

@MadMilitiaMen Your lack of vocabulary is nightmarish at best. Elaborate please. Which of the 12 year olds define my channel.

[MadMilitiaMen]

@Johnnymushio Awww, how cute. The troll is using big words to save himself. To answer your question, pretty much every comment on your channel is a good definition. Everyone seems to equally dislike you. Congrats on that, not many people are that extreme. Look forward to your next comment, have a nice day sweetie.

[Johnnymushio]

@MadMilitiaMen Big words? You wouldn't happen to mean "elaborate" would you? As fro the channel comments, only 2 are negative, two are a joke, and the rest are positive. All the other pages are nothing but positive. What my channel comments have to do with anything, I have no idea. But, that's a typical moron for you.

[MadMilitiaMen]

@Johnnymushio Woah man, why so upset? For someone saying all those comments are a joke you sure are getting upset. Gotta scramble to defend your youtbe honor? Kinda sad, but whatever gets you excited. Till next time, my moronic friend.

[Johnnymushio]

@MadMilitiaMen I just proved you wrong now you are scrambling to say, not sure what. I feel sorry fro you, you seem mentally unstable.

[MadMilitiaMen]

@Johnnymushio proved what wrong exactly? You have proved nothing. You have proved, that you are easy to jerk around. Its like fishing really, i dipped my hook out and of all the millions of people of youtube, you readily leapt up and took the bait. Thank you for the laughter, you are a riot. BTW, its for not fro. Till next time. Stay out of trouble sweetie!

[Johnnymushio]

@MadMilitiaMen So you just admitted to trolling and called me out for interchanging two letters. You have also called me sweetie and what not several times, implying that you are either gay or a woman.

[MadMilitiaMen]

@Johnnymushio Aww man, i thought with you constant whining, you were a woman. Wasted friendly chat on a sap. And yes i have been trolling you, the only people who talk to you this long probably are trolling you. Now hurry up and reply, my appetite for humor hasn't been sated yet.

[Johnnymushio]

@MadMilitiaMen So, you just admitted to being a troll. I can only imagine how much you benefit society in real life. The more this goes on, the more mentally unstable you sound.

[MadMilitiaMen]

@Johnnymushio Why thank you for asking, i actually benefit society fairly well. Society provided me with a great job and great pay. I benefit society by paying taxes and handsomely contribute to charities. Society has also blessed me by giving me morons like you to laugh at on youtube. Gotta love America.

[logan3554]

@tomkes100douchebag I wish I could further dislike this comment then one simple thumbs down.

[tomkes100douchebag]

@logan3554 O.k. try this, Stick that very same thumb up your ass, swirl it arund, then take it out and lick it. I think you'll agree, that will take you where you want to be! Glad to help!

[SigurdHeathen]

@tomkes100douchebag

Damn, you're idiotic.

[tomkes100douchebag]

@SigurdHeathen 98% death rate in the killling fields and this asshole praises the cops. What does this bum do anyway? He's never in Columbus just a suckin Letterman's ass, fuck him.

[tiiaamii]

I feel sorry for everybody involved! They risk their lives to protect the public and all they get is crap!

[MadMilitiaMen]

@tiiaamii Oh my god. Somone on Youtube that has a brain. I thought it was a myth. Kudos to you for saying the first intelligent thing this video.

[kumathebulldog]

@tiiaamii fuck you moron., i feel sorry for you.

[DMS5594]

@kumathebulldog Why he's right, I mean it is a shame for such animals to get killed, but I'd rather have 30 dead animals and no dead people, than 30+ people dead. Stop being a hippie, and grow up, those animals needed to be put down.

[kumathebulldog]

@DMS5594 someone who does not understand the value of life and holds such grand ignorance is not worthy of a response.. i'm afraid you don't know what growing up is..

[Sismiques]

@DMS5594

There are 7 billion people, a few human lives may be an acceptable loss to save rare animals.

[SoGoGal]

Those bears are camera hogs! lol
