Everybody’s been talking about this on the internet so I thought I would give my opinion and thoughts on this news. Earlier this week, a man named Terry W. Thompson, who owned an animal farm full of exotic animals in Zanesville, killed himself after releasing his animals. There were tigers, lions, black bears, baboons, a wolf, various monkeys, etc. The list is endless.

The Zanesville police department shot and killed most of the animals, but a few still haven’t been found. I would think the few that haven’t been found are probably out in the woods somewhere. In my opinion, I think killing the animals was just wrong. They should have captured the animals and put them back out in the wild where they originally came from.

As for why Terry did this, I’m seeing a lot of people are calling him a prick for this, but the way I look at it is, maybe he did it to try and send a message? Maybe he felt bad that he kept those animals. Maybe he wanted to send a message to other exotic animal farms and family Zoos in the United States, that all animals need to be out in the wild. Just a few things to think about, you know? I think he was protesting something, sending a clear message. He didn’t do this as a random act, he had something to say.

These are just my thoughts, that is all.
