MSNBC reports that a 24-year-old man in Columbus, Ohio, was mauled after he let out a bear for feeding at an exotic animal collector's home.
So many things went wrong here.
- OHIO allows people to "collect" wild and dangerous animals like bears.
- OHIO allows contact between wild animals at exhibits and humans. Indeed, the collector of this bear allowed people to wrestle his bears until animal rights groups complained and had his exhibitors license revoked.
- OHIO allows exotic animals to be fed while uncaged.
- OHIO does not require training to take care of exotic animals.
- ETC, ETC, ETC
The owner of this bear also has four tigers, a lion, seven other bears and 12 wolves, he said at a bankruptcy filing in May.

Ohio also bans pitbulls.
he'll likely be able to keep the animals. :(
sick, sick, sick!.............. maybe i'm vindictive but i always think it's pretty funny (for the person) when they get mauled by a wild animal they are pathetically trying to humanize. the sad part is what happens to the animals after this type of an incident.
what will happen to all these creatures he was "collecting", do you know ernest?
