"Fucking PETA will get their hands on this and use it to promote even more laws banning exotic pet ownership."
If we care anything about these animals at all, let's hope that's exactly what happens. All the animal rights groups are completely against laws allowing such ownership, for good reason.
Most humans are not up to the task but just do not realize it, being as that proper accommodation of such animals requires extraordinary devotion of time, several acres, at the least, and financial resources beyond what these people can realistically provide.
If the situation in Zanesville had broken at, say, 5:00 AM, then the various agencies might have been able to save half or more of the animals. But being that it occurred just at dusk, they had to quickly tranquilize those they could and shoot the rest when it became too dark to be able to pursue the tranquilized, who can run for a good distance before finally lying down. Living under the conditions that those animals lived in, they would have been far more unpredictable than any animal experts could be of help with. People lived in the area, and the safe choice had to be made.
