This week’s incident involving escaped exotic animals in Ohio is a call to action against private possession of wildlife. Our chief executive officer, Will Travers, calls it a “horrific situation” that should “serve as a brutal reminder that wildlife belong in the wild and that no one should ever put the animals or the public at risk by trying to confine them in a zoo, circus, backyard or home, where serious injury or death can occur at any time.” Born Free USA tracks such cases through its online database, which lists some 1,600 attacks and incidents reported nationwide.
