Ohio Exotic Animal Tragedy

The forced slaughter of innocent, exotic animals: It's up to us to prevent this from happening again.

The image of dozens of exotic animal corpses splayed across a field in Zanesville, OH, is not one that will soon leave my mind. Photos of this tragedy spanned the Internet this week, and the public's outrage is clear. At this point in time, I only hope that this outrage is not soon lost. Now is the time for people to take the opportunity to contact Ohio officials and other state governments around the country, so that this does not happen again. Start by contacting the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to share your feelings about their lax exotic animal laws.

Find out where your state stands on laws relating to the private possession of exotic animals.
