I thought the story was pretty sad. I've always been in admiration of tigers, and with them being so endangered you would have thought they would have captured them and offered them up to some other zoo or refuge somewhere. Pretty sad decision on part of the govt' I think. That pic that has circulated with al lthe dead tigers and lions lying next to one another in a pool of blood really disturbed me.

I heard they accounted for everything but one monkey, but they believe one of the lions ate it.

Yeah, it sucks they are endangered, but saving these ones wouldn't have made any difference. There isn't any tiger plants in India and wherever else they are from. The big picture was looked at, and that was keeping people safe. If they would've messed around with tranquilizing and just one got away that first night it could've roamed a couple miles away and killed pets and maybe people. Just imagine the media and everyones' reactions if that happened. Blame the state of Ohio for letting a convicted felon who also had been convicted of animal abuse in the past for letting cattle starve to death keep thses animals. They can't have guns, but can have top predator animals? I don't know about you, but if it came down to it and I had to choose my chances with either taking a bullet or taking on a bear, tiger, or lion, I'd take the bullet.
