exotic zoo owner Terry Thompson opened the animals' cages and killed himself last month.

I guess he was feline depressed.

why were they arrested?? oh, for the Lutz

Writer fails:

FTA 'In another sign of morbid interest in the exotic creatures, the sheriff said he received many calls about what would happen to the carcasses, including calls from "people that would like to take these animals to taxidermists."

Seems like a good idea to me. If someone wants a stuffed lion why not let them come and pick one of these up. Seems better the going to africa and killing off more of the endangered species.

Because the dead animals are doing so much good just lying around and left to rot.

It was just lion around.

Pre-poached meat.

I could just see it now..."Grandpa, how did you kill the lion in our den? ....well kids... back in the day there was this...you know lets just say I shot, yeah....that will work"

Jesus Christ!

Wait, what?

One of the 21 year olds, Cody Wilson, is from my town, and my wife taught him in school. I went to school with his mother. (I know, the names aren't in the article, but they were in our local paper. And we are a small community where everyone knows everyone.).

So, putting a dead lion in your car is now a crime?

This gives credence to the axiom that there are at least three laws dealing with every possible human activity.
