I also wondered about the cost of feeding those animals. Feeding 35 combined tigers and lions would take hundreds of pounds of meat every day, and cost thousands of dollars every week.
Supposedly the Humane Society has said that they don't have a problem with the animals being killed, and I don't either. To get that situation under control without any loss of human life was a very good outcome.
It's too bad the animals couldn't be saved, but they were probably hungry when they were let out, and obviously dangerous as hell running around in the dark.

so many Columbus folks have complained that they weren't captured...3074326;2016548; said:
I suppose we should have a hundred tranq guns, and skilled snipers, waiting around for the next outbreak.
not to mention that you would need so much juice in those darts that it would threaten their lives anyway. and what do you do with them afterwards? they aren't fit for zoo nor living at the wilds preserve.

I've followed this story quite a bit and it's not even up for debate. It's sad and tragic, but the officers did the right thing.
I'm sure law enforcement officers don't have tranq rounds laying around in their cruisers that could take down these animals.
So that means waiting for the Zoo or the Wilds to get there, which like joked above, they don't people just waiting around with this equipment.
So not only the drive time, but it'd also take the time to round up the necessary employees and equipment to get there.
At minimum it's probably, what, 1 hour? Yeah, let's let grizzly bears, african lions, and bengal tigers roam free for an hour.
It's easy to be the armchair QB and say deadly force shouldn't have been used, but if any harm or death had been done to any innocent citizen then all of those people wanting the animals to be saved would be singing a different tune.
People want to point the finger and blame someone. It's not the officers.
Most won't want to admit it (probably because he died) but, Mr. Thompson is the responsible one for these animals being shot.
If he didn't want to live anymore, whatever, it's his decision. But he opened the gates that led to the animals being killed.

I love how the reporter says that if the viewer thinks they know what type of cat this is, to call the Powell police. I am sure the police love getting a thousand calls from people opining on the breed of the cat.
It's pretty obviously a freaking cat. "Cat sighted in Columbus! More at Eleven. We don't report the news, we make it!"
