No Joke.  There are loose exotic animals in this area.  Watch your livestock folks. 
My question is WHY??? have these animals int he first place???

Just saw this report on the news. Unreal that something like this is happening in Zanesville, OH. Wonder how many guys are going to have a lion head hanging next to their deer heads.

That is a hour straight east of me. I hope they stay away. 25 animals have been killed already. Its pouring here and just miserable outside. They are going to try and tranquilize the rest today. I guess the owner died and somehow let the animals out before he did. Zaneville is very hilly with lots of woods around. It will be tough to find them all let alone catch them. I sure hope nobody gets hurt.

yeah thats not to far from home. We have had wild bears come around and the occasional mountain lion. They won't catch all of those animals.
