He didn't have 50 lions, he had 50 lions, tigers, and other exotics. For all we know he could've been Noah's Ark-in' it and had two of each animal. Or only one (although that seems like an awful lot of work).

Still, releasing them is wrong. And even worse, he decided to commit suicide so now there's no one to hold accountable for it. Besides, what did he think was going to happen? They were just going to blend in to nature and live without problems for the rest of their lives?

I just don't get how people think sometimes...
