Ohio Exotic Animal Laws Questioned

Last week, dozens of exotic animals, including tigers, bears, and monkeys, escaped from a private residence after the suicide of the owner.  Most of the animals were subsequently killed by law enforcement officers, and a few were rescued. 

In the wake of the tragedy, some are questioning regulations regarding the ownership of wild animals.
