Nice job idiots. Blame the cops. How about blame the person who DELIBERATELY let them out.  He/she is to blame. Probably someone from peta. Boy did that backfire on them.

I'm an animal lover. Watching the killing of this beautiful animals, some of them on the brink of extinction, breaks my heart. BUT...I'm not a fucking hypocrite to come here and call the police idiots, because they were facing a REAL dangerous situation and unfortunately had no choice. Would anyone of you brainless anarchists prefer to see your mom, dad, son or daughter being killed by an animal while the police stood there trying to save the animals? No. It's simple survival instinc. No one sa

When lions kill zebras, nobody gives a fuck, and simply calls it 'nature.

When a human kills a lion, everybody freaks the fuck out.

Try saying the police did the wrong thing while being mauled by a black bear and having lions tearing your family's limbs apart.

@ILHACRIATIVAofficial lol way to stick up for the police force. however, in my opinion? A bunch of cops just got really bored of patrol duty and wanted to test out their pistols for practice targets.

@MrJoeballs28, yes, as animals have already been killed, you will have guns as friends to share your state of careless

@EmceeSean I'm sorry but I value the lives of humans more than animals.

@ThatDinosaurMan They should have tried to at least sedate the animals. From my understanding of ready the articles, most of the animals hadn't even made it out of the gate of the property.

@BeautyWithFern you got a better idea?

It's sad that the only solution humans can come up with is to kill.

@AnonymeAnimal Good! Then you should be the one we throw to the animals to distract them while we tranquilise them. Imagine if you will, a small child being torn apart by hungry, confused and scared tigers. Yes, people are more important, because we ARE HUMANS. Do you see animals banding together to stand up for human rights in a self-sacrificing way? I bet when its you and your family humans are more important, but other people and their families are not... Idiot...
