Zanesville Animal Massacre

The massacre began on Tuesday night. Sheriff's deputies came to a wild animal known store in Zanesville, Ohio, to wander far away Bengal tigers, lions, bears and other wildlife to see some headed for the highway.
Dispersion in fear of the animals and terrorizing the city, officials began to ship the animal with their guns.
"These animals were in motion and has shown aggressive behavior," said Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz.
"There were some very close calls," the sheriff said. Sometimes it was "almost hand to hand" combat with animals, Lutz said.

"This is £ 300 Bengal tigers. We had to," he said.
The night of chaos, a lion killed a monkey escaped and bears and lions on horses were kept in a maintenance shop, he said.
When the carnage was over, 49 animals were killed, including 18 Bengal tigers, 17 lions, bears, six blacks, a couple of grizzly bears, three mountain lions, two wolves and a baboon.
Pets by Terry Thompson, the owner of the reserve, which was later killed, was released, Lutz said.
"These murders were senseless. For our guys to do this was nonsense. It was crazy," said the sheriff.

ABC News' Wildlife expert Jack Hanna, Lutz recommended during the crisis, said it was particularly heartbreaking to see. He killed so many Bengal tigers, as they are threatened with extinction. But the actions of the police saved a disaster, he said.
A veterinarian shot a tiger with a tranquilizer from 15 yards away and Lutz said he was "just crazy," and began to run as officers were forced to shoot with live ammunition. Another animal that has been removed, described as a big cat was hit by a car on a road at a distance, he said.
An animal, a monkey, macaque, is still missing, and Lutz said he is "very likely" that has been infected with the herpes virus B.
Herpes B is not dangerous, the monkeys, but "it is very dangerous to humans," said Barb Wolfe, director of Wildlife Conservation Medicine at Ohio Conservatory Wilds.
If the rare disease transmitted to humans can lead to deadly infections of the brain, according to the National Primate Research Center in Wisconsin.
Wolfe urged the public not to approach the monkeys and the 911 call, when it was discovered.
During the chaos, several people were arrested for attempting to steal the carcass of a lion that was killed.
Six animals were still scattered in their cages on 73 acres, and Thompson, the woman again to find at least 30 of their animals dead on the floor.
