This was such a horrible thing that happened! I can't believe people in Ohio can keep those kinds of animals as pets! Thank God there are places like the Ark RAIN Wildlife Sanctuary to help the type of animals that your average person cannot rescue. After seeing this newscast and reading more about the Ark RAIN Sanctuary on their Facebook page, www.facebook.com/arkrain , it seems that they need our help also since the terrible fire that happened! I have read many posts they have made about losing their funding because of the fire! This is not right! I hope that everyone out there that has a way to help will for this couple's sake that are so devastated from the fire but still trying to help animals. From their photos and stories, they seem to have made such a big difference in the lives of so many. Hang in there Ark RAIN, I will be sending a donation and hopefully others will too! We need to help those that could be helping to stop situations like the one in Ohio.

Yeah, you're right, but HUMAN LIFE comes first. It would have been even more tragic to wake up to find human body parts scatted throughout the area. Tigers, Lions, Bears, this guys had them all. Thanks to the Sheriff's Office and The Ohio Highway Patrol the area is once safe again, however this won't be forgotten.
