From the article Matty posted:
Among their goals:
- Determining the cause and circumstances of a bite wound on Thompson's head, a wound believed to have occurred within seconds of his suicide.
- Finding out who released a graphic photo of animal carcasses piled up outside the 73-acre Muskingum County Animal Farm in Ohio. "There was no employee of mine that had any authorization to release that photo," Lutz said.
- Protecting the farm property from people who have flooded the Sheriff's Department with requests for the carcasses, presumably to take them to a taxidermist to be stuffed and displayed. Authorities are also investigating reports that two people were nabbed trying to steal one of the carcasses; they say that anyone caught trying to unearth the animals from their mass grave at the farm will face swift punishment.
- Supervising the prospect of Thompson's wife trying to regain custody of the animals captured at the facility, including a grizzly bear, three leopards and two monkeys.
- Defending law enforcement's actions to the animal rights activists that have been calling and emailing the Sheriff's Department to complain that officers should have found a better way to handle the situation instead of the mass killing of so many animals.
- Dealing with the emotional fallout for officers who were thrust into duties they weren't trained to handle -- the forced execution of one animal after another. Then they had to explain it all to their children, whom Lutz said could face taunting and harassment at school.
So I wouldn't point the finger at the cop who pulled the trigger maybe more like their commanding officer.
From the movie I quoted earlier in this thread the lead character on the police side of the film said and I thought it was well said:
As soon as you take ownership of a exotic pet you have signed either the death warrant for yourself the animal or both of you.
Please someone watch that film I love to talk hear someone's view on it.
