ohio zoo returns animals

An Ohio zoo which had five animals returned them to Maria Thompson. Atleast she got some back instead of losing everything.

could have been 6 but they crushed one

I guess I missed something...?!?!?!

You should have explained it more, the guy from Zainesville, Ohio who released his animals then committed suicide, some of the animals were kept at the Columbus Zoo until a few days ago, the mans wife now has them back.

Honestly, I'm suprised she got anything back, but I'm glad she did.

Indeed. It's traumatic enough when your husband releases all your pets and commits suicide, having all the animals gone at a zoo after being confiscated would drive me insane

Its about time. I find it hard to believe people still think her husband killed himself.

:confused: Please enlighten me as to how he met his demise, if it wasn't suicide?

Everything I've seen points to suicide as the undisputed cause of death. The guy was emotionally unstable. What are you suggesting?

I can't disagree more, I can't believe these animals are being returned to the sh*t hole conditions they were in before the incident. 2 Leopards, a bear and 2 Macaques - I just hope that this time they are taken care of and not half starved/emaciated and living in there own waste as before. I understand that people want to maintain the right to keep exotics, and I agree, but for god sake please care of them.

I think the insinuation is that his pets killed him.

send me a message on facebook and ill refer you to a group of big cat keepers that know much more details about it then I do but the one thing that always really stood out to me was why would you cut the pens open when you have the keys?

A friend posted something on another forum I go to that sounded really bizarre, I wonder if they're talking about the same incident? Here is the link that he sent me.

Assuming that information is accurate, that is really worrying. I've always thought the whole thing seemed fishy.

its a jfk conspiracy type thing, foul play or not we will NEVER know. case was closed as fast as possible and will not be reopened unless a 'murderer' (if there is one) steps forward.
