Op-ed Rare wild animals escape an killed in Ohio, Jack Hanna | Global Animal

These sorts of acts go on every day, everywhere in the globe. Why are we so incapable of empathy towards other beings?, why is mankind so overvalued?. We delve on our petty problems, look around we are pushing 7 billion, we have to rethink what are we protecting our species from, 50 unwillingly domesticated animals?.

Of all the creatures, man is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he is the only one that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to the other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot.

I am curious to the rationale behind this, I am finding it difficult to understand why tranquilizers weren't used.

They don't don't go on everyday around the globe. Most people shoot animals to eat them.

This was a weird instance where someone decided to let his tigers and lions out of their cages and force the police to kill them before they killed a kid. Nobody was going "yeehaw! I done shot me a cougar!" it was more like "oh ****, we have to get all the kids inside before they die."

That's why we couldn't tranquilize them. You're assertion that this was a demonstration of human cruelty, is wrong. This was one bad human doing something people don't do and other people having no choice but to clean it up. But it is true that he shouldn't have had them in the first place.

I think the amount of tranquilizer that needs to be used is very specific to the animal, its size and weight, when it has last eaten, etc. There are so many factors that would have been unknown. You can imagine the public outcry had someone (especially a child) been attacked and killed.

The problem here is with the idiot who let them out, and the morons who decided it was OK for an individual to keep highly dangerous predators as "pets" in the first place. :mad:

Animal cruelty does go on every day, i find it cruel to cage animals separating them from their family, taking away the essence of their lives. I see that as an act of cruelty, and i bet we all don't live that far from a zoo.

About this incident, the 'forced to kill' argument is arguable, they were shot at night i think, they were obviously scared and would react defensively, i don't think they went like 'ohh we are free, yeahh human babies nom nom'.

And if you try to see it from a different perspective, the animals were sucked into a huge mess of human stupidity from the day they were pulled out of their environments. I sustain my point on this.
