I'm in Muskingum County, and it's serious business around here. Twitter/Facebook is on fire.

The owner of the farm was also found dead outside as well, crazy situation. He actually just got out of jail, on gun charges.

Yeah I wasn't making light of this at all. This is a very very bad situation. I pray no one gets hurt because of this.

Thats absolutely insane. I'm no animals expert, is it even legal to house exotic animals in Ohio?

Supposedly they closed two high schools because of this incident: West Muskingum and Maysville. I heard it once, don't know if it's factual or not.

The sheriff said deputies shot up to 25 animals on the way to the home to check on the owner.
Officials said there could be up to 48 animals still on the loose and that deputies have been given the order of "shoot to kill."
Holy shat.

Don't take no chances. Let the authorities handle this.

You could probably put out a bowl of milk or something.

Plenty of black bears in this area of the state already... Brown bears, not so much.

So because of this lunatic, 50+ innocent animals are going to die? Brilliant.

I understand the public safety issues, but shouldn't having this many exotic animals be illegal?

I can (sort of) understand 1 or 2, but 50?

Would this be a good time for coon dog hunting ?

Would a couple of good coon dogs track a lion, bear or tiger?

Was just on the news - they closed the DISTRICTS. Wouldn't be good PR to have Little Susie eaten by a tiger while waiting at the bus stop....

This may be a good time to let my Dad's @*$#% Chihuahua From Hell out for run...

Keeping that many animals around probably is an indication that the guy likely didn't have all of his marbles in the first place.
