Police have shot and killed dozens of exotic animals that escaped from a private zoo in Zanesville, Ohio, BBC reported.
Sheriff Matt Lutz said he personally gave the order to shoot the escaped animals, including grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, tigers and lions.
The animals' owner, Terry Thompson, was found dead at the zoo, and police believe he killed himself.
Lutz said a preliminary investigation suggested Thompson left fences open at the farm.
Forty-eight of the 56 animals were then shot dead on the sheriff's orders. Animals shot dead: 1 wolf; 6 black bears; 2 grizzly bears; 17 lions; 1 baboon; 3 mountain lions; 18 Bengal tigers.（點擊英國廣播公司網站查看原文）
