49 Exotic Animals In Ohio Dead!!

There were 56 Exotic Animals let loose by owner. The owner that was a Vietnam Vet. a business owner, a pilot, a gun dealer and had been on both sides of the fence with the law. Mr TT had just been let out of a Federal
prison after serving about 1 year, his wife had left him, having house arrest at his farm that was home to dozen of horses, dogs and those caged 56 Exotic Animals. To some how can 1 man take care of all those animals, cost of
feeding them, as some said his love to them is maybe what lead him to his actions. The cages used to hold those animals had been altered by cutting part of the fence around them giving another way for that animal to escape if
they were caught and re-caged. The owner then opened all cages front door , then standing there in front of the animals turned a gun on himself ending his life. As it now is told one of the Bengal Tigers did chew on his body around his head just minutes after he shot himself, as it laid on the ground.

It is now about an hour before dark, gray skies, rain, cooler now in mid October, the local sheriff's department gets a 911 call about wild animals in there yard. When the deputies arrived they were fronted with a bear coming
at them. Having to take his sidearm to defend himself the bears life ended just a few feet from the officer. The word had been given by the Sheriff 'Put them down'. Matt Lutz a 23 year law officer, and 3 year as the sheriff did
have experience and leadership giving his deputies the command to kill all exotic animals they saw. Sheriff Lutz father Mike Lutz had been a deputy there in the same sheriff department a few year back but his life was taken one
night on duty with his own gun by a burglar Deputy Lutz had responded to.

During the night and through the next day the search for those loose wild animals continued. Some of the local schools in the area had closed so the children would not be out at the bus stop and give the exotic animals
opportunity to feed on the kids. With Jack Hanna being here in Ohio he was called among others from the Columbus Zoo to help the department in understanding how or what these wild animals do or act.

As the day went on the exotic animals were being shot and killed. Columbus Zoo Director Emeritus Jack Hanna while at the scene was hoping to tranquilize and capture animals that survived into the daylight hours, but
veterinarians were only able to successfully reach six of them. Those six were taken to the Columbus Zoo to be checked out. Those animals included three leopards, two macaque monkeys, and a grizzly bear.

Coming to and end here all but 1 animal was accounted for, but the authorities felt it was eaten by one of the other exotic animals. Here is a list of the ones that were shot then buried right there on the farm they lived.

* 2 wolves
* 6 black bears
* 9 male lions
* 8 lionesses
* 3 mountain lions
* 18 Bengal tigers
* 1 baboon

Also the farm is near I 70 and 1 of the exotic animals was hit by a car when it tried to cross the interstate. With the lives of these animals gone, other than the owner death NO other human life was taken during this event that
was broadcasted worldwide.

Thank you for a very well put together video... I am so saddened by the killings of these animals.. I believe that those on the property should have been saved. I just feel it is so wrong that they are dead because an unresponsible owner did this knowing what the out come would be.

@aura812 Thanks for watching and commenting.

Those clips of the leopard, bear and monkey are from the Ohio Zoo. There were no leopards at this particular privately owned habitat that is in the news. Don't be a yahoo and use unrelated material for your own gain.

@barkdull1 Sorry but you are incorrect, if you listen to the video, watched the national news cast or even lived there and knew them you would have not said that. Watch it again or just read any of many prints and you will see that leopards were at the farm and saved.

Hey #Lutz. It also "included" #giraffes and #camels that you #murdered. Sheriff Lutz = Jack Hanna = ignorant savage. I wouldn't trust Hanna with any animal. They should get someone from the Cleveland Zoo to help with the survivors.

@KitemanTV Sorry you feel that way...but your info is incorrect...Mr. Thompson has had giraffes & camels but at this time he did not own any of them.

Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My! Wild Animals like you see on TV have escaped back into the Wild!

The wild Animals to FEAR are the Meat eating Humans with Guns who needlessly fear 'wild' animals based on misinformation and a lack of knowledge...

Turn off the TV and get back to nature!

Turn away from Fear-based Terror Alerts! Embrace LIFE >>>

Many cultures such as Africa, India, South America live with natural animal s outside of cages and without killing them!

Exotic......there animals which should be respected. I saw two deer today looking right at me. It was pretty cool but the thought of taking them home never accoured to me cause I love and RESPECT all of nature!! This is such a messed up case. The point being is that one person....ONE did this and made this happen and possable ! Just one person. Its so F***** up cause this does affect alot of people. Thank goodness No One Human life was lost to this tradegy. Respect nature and let it be.

@findersRkeepers Are you sure? And, how do you know? Why are Lutz and Hanna using weasel-words such as "includes"?
