After a man in Zanesville, OH released 56 exotic creatures—including lions, tigers, bears, and monkeys—and then took his own life, sheriff's deputies were forced to hunt down and in most cases kill the animals. What do you think?

“Will they be selling the meat? The man's, I mean. I could never eat an elephant.”

“The guy could've killed two birds with one stone if he had just let the animals maul him a little on their way out.”

“'What kind of idiot opens a taxidermy shop in Zanesville?' they all said. Well, ha, ha, suckers!”
