Room enough for an exotic animals zoo, for example.<br /><br />The Netherlands are one big cage, for us humans, and for animals. (Though I would dearly like to move, I do like the fact that we live in a very quiet part of the country. Very flat, and very quiet. No zebras in sight for a hundred miles.)<br /><br />Nickiflowtopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530945235666266906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123851797673892305.post-90945103314115144962011-10-29T12:36:38.693-04:002011-10-29T12:36:38.693-04:00What a great, fun place to make memories with your...What a great, fun place to make memories with your grandchildren - and a great place to take pics, too! <br /><br />Have a blessed, restful Sunday . . . and thanks for your encouraging words on my blog!Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07059837275907441219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123851797673892305.post-22146340973793355072011-10-28T12:26:27.233-04:002011-10-28T12:26:27.233-04:00i so love zebras, they make my eyes turn all direc...i so love zebras, they make my eyes turn all directions... especially in a group they make me feel dizzy. <br />on top of that, like with so many other animals, they just look a little silly, which always makes me chuckle... <br />n♥nadine paduarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15665345657592667666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123851797673892305.post-39078021135644555372011-10-28T10:49:00.659-04:002011-10-28T10:49:00.659-04:00That whole news story about the animals turned loo...That whole news story about the animals turned loose and the suicide is horrendous.

The gover...As far as I know, no it's not so. <br /><br /> The governor has gotten flack about letting an exotic animal ruling lapse while letting a committee 'research' the best law. <br />The one that lapsed was not good, but not having any regulations is not going over well with us Ohioans.<br />Ohio is very lax on all kinds of legal situations and buying exotic animals at auctions is one of them.<br />That's where this guy got some of them.<br /><br />He rescued others and then folks dropped off more when they realized they couldn't deal with the animal they thought would be cool to have.<br /><br />The widow had wanted him to stop with the animals, so I can't see her wanting them. Plus, exactly what the neighbors feared would happen did; the animals got loose. No one wants them kept on that place.<br /><br />The man had been in jail for a year on a firearms related matter. He owed LOTS to the IRS and was having difficulty with the cost of keeping these animals. Plus they were investigated for negligence, so I doubt she's in a 'good place' to take them on.<br />They were estranged too.<br /><br />He was considered quite strange and he had issues with the law and society in general I think. What he did was cruel to those animals and to his neighbors. But he got world wide recognition whereas jsut his suicide would have been a miniscule blip in a local paper.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01783056492527420487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123851797673892305.post-59777793693065304282011-10-26T19:53:02.775-04:002011-10-26T19:53:02.775-04:00I was surprised when you said that was Ohio.

I am a huge animal rights person and my co-workers thought I'd be mad that the Sheriff shot them, but I wasn't. I totally understand. I am agry that the SOB had the animals and then released them knowing what their fate would be. Last I heard, the survivors might be handed over the widow. Please tell me that isn't true.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477741179871692045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123851797673892305.post-25616663100150331452011-10-26T18:15:16.167-04:002011-10-26T18:15:16.167-04:00Such a sorry tale for those animals.
