Scandal of the private zoo that ended in slaughter

It wasn’t easy for residents of Zanesville, Ohio, to fathom how such carnage involving so many exotic animals could have happened in their midst yesterday, and yet, looking back, you could say that something like this was always bound to happen at the private Dolittle compound of Terry Thompson.

The pandemonium at the Muskingum County Animal Farm began late Tuesday when police officers responded to calls that some of its 56 animals were on the loose. They found the farm gate unlocked and animal cage doors wide open. They also found Thompson dead from a gunshot wound. It is believed he shot himself.

That Thompson, a veteran of Vietnam who sold firearms from the farm and once owned a Harley Davidson dealership in the area, had long been at war with the rest of the world was no secret. He had just spent a year in prison for firearms violations and had often been in dispute with neighbours.

The sheriff’s office had received numerous complaints since 2004 about animals escaping on to neighbours’ property. Thompson had been charged over the years with animal cruelty, animal neglect and allowing animals to roam.

  1. UPDATE;
    AFTER HEARING SOME CALLERS RESPOND TO THIS IDEA, AND ALEX’S REPORT THAT POLICE WERE INTERFERING WITH SHEEPEOPLE WHO TRY TO CLOSE THEIR ACCOUNTS MUST UNDERSTAND THAT ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS FIND THE CREDIT UNION OR COMMUNITY BANK YOU LIKE AND “GO INSIDE AND TELL THEM YOU WANT TO TRANSFER YOUR ACCOUNT AND “THEY” WILL DO ALL THE WORK! “YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GO TO YOUR BIG BOY BANK EVER AGAIN” !!
    FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT SEE THIS IDEA WE WILL TRY AGAIN;
    Hello,
    After watching all the chickens with their heads cut off running around Wall St. and other venues we came up with this sure fire way to peacefully fight back if the gutless.spineless sheepeople will take 30 minutes out of their day to do this! I know, allot to ask right :-}
    Anyway here goes; Anyone who has an account with the following; BANK OF AMERICA,WELLS FARGO,CHASE,CITI BANK,OR ANY OTHER BIG BANK,
    Transfer their accounts to a local Credit Union, or local Community Bank in their town. In fact all CREDIT UNIONS and LOCAL COMMUNITY BANKS will handle the transfer for you, and in some cases offer you certain incentives for doing so. You don’t even need to return to your BIG BOY BANK to do this, and it will only take no more than 30 minutes.
    People seem to have plenty of time camping out on the street, BUT NOTHING IS BEING ACCOMPLISHED! do something that will effect the BIG BOY BANKS BOTTOM LINE NOW,TODAY!
    This idea must get out there. Make it a fun thing to do, have people who transfer their accounts join a list that other people can see, make it the cool thing to do, create a contest for the most people signed up on the “I FOUGHT BACK LIST” ETC.
    I think you get the basic idea, but anyway you do it, DO IT! We must start to actually FIGHT BACK with tangible weapons instead of SHEEPEOPLE RUNNING AROUND LIKE ACID HEADS AT A ROCK CONCERT!
    Can you imagine this catching on; I can see it now Millions of people transferring their accounts in a matter of weeks! A Glorious sight don’t you think?
    So witch one of you FREEDOM FIGHTERS WILL HELP US GET THIS OFF THE GROUND? We need a venue of power that can help sponsor this movement, or Hell you guys can have all the credit if you need it, BUT THIS MUST GET OFF THE GROUND IN INTO REALITY!
    Do you understand the benefits for infowars,Alex Jones, and most of all……………. the PEOPLE OF THE REPUBLIC?
    THIS WILL WORK IF WE PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER AND “FIGHT BACK”
    PS: Please reply with your thoughts :-}
    Thanks and God Bless
