The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Ohio was successful in blocking exotic pet owner Marian Thompson from reclaiming the six living animals released by her husband Terry before committing suicide. The incident last week at the exotic animal farm in Zanesville, Ohio, grabbed national attention after 56 animals were put down after being freed from their cages. Laws governing the ownership and care of wild animals in Ohio have been in a state of flux since the beginning of the year as the Ohio Department of Natural Resources has worked on comprehensive reform as tasked by Gov. John Kasich.

Here are some facts about the ongoing animal custody issue:

* The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium was notified Friday by Thompson's attorney that she intended to reclaim legal ownership of the two moneys, three leopards and a grizzly bear. Zoo officials began appealing to state and federal agencies to block the transfer of custody.


 The Ohio Department of Agriculture blocked the removal of Thompson's exotic pets by issuing a quarantine order. A department veterinarian examined the exotic animals and decided they needed further observation and a quarantine was necessary. The quarantine order came after Kasich asked department officials to make sure the animals did not pose a health threat after he was informed that Thompson was planning to go to the zoo and reclaim the animals.


* Upon arrival to the zoo Thompson was presented with a copy of the quarantine order and prevented from taking the animals. The order cited laws that allowed the agriculture department to quarantine, investigate, inspect and test animals which may carry contagious diseases.

Zoo owner lets wild animals loose in Zanesville, Ohio



Scott Paulson, Conservative Examiner


October 19, 2011 
Zanesville, Ohio’s Mayor Howard Zwelling admits that he is quite worried about the public’s safety after wild animals were let loose by an Ohio zoo owner. After letting the animals loose from the Muskingum County Animal Farm, the zoo’s owner killed himself.



The zoo owner, Terry Thompson, 61, was known by the sheriff's department due to numerous contacts with him since 2004 regarding public complaints about the zoo.


Forty-eight dangerous animals including lions, bears, wolves, and tigers are roaming among the public in the Zanesville area.



The Mayor of Zanesville said:  "It’s my understanding that the county sheriff and deputies are out. The last I heard last night, they had killed over 25 of these wild animals, and there were 48 loose."

After being confronted with reports that the public is extremely concerned that the sheriff is killing the animals rather than tranquilizing them for capture, the Mayor added:

It bothers me a little bit also. I was not consulted about this. It happened outside the city, and so the sheriff has taken charge of this whole thing. I have not talked to the sheriff.

Officials say that it was too dangerous to be shooting tranquilizers in the dark last night.

School districts in the area are closed and residents are being advised to stay indoors.

The animals were reported loose at 5:30PM ET on Tuesday, and the search for wild animals was continuing as of 11:00AM ET on Wednesday.

Commentary by Kimberly Koerber-Bauer-Koerber
The thing about this wild animal situation is that this is an example of 'development' that continues and is not able to be stopped.  Lions were kept in cages in Medina, Ohio.  the Lions were pets to residents of Medina, Ohio when i was in high school.  No one bothered to do anything about the lions then, and the lions needed to eat meat then also.  The odd thing about this is that many cars passed the lions cages on a daily basis, and saw the built in tennis court there also.  I 'thought' that the issue had to do with too liberal laws then in regard to having wild animals like lions there on private property and recently, the'special pets' were found in Zanesville.  Too bad the animals could not have been rescued and placed in a more traditional zoo setting, than a private preserve zoo setting that existed on someone's private property again.   One wonders how the animals were maintained and fed for as many years as they were in capitivity as I understand that certain animals who are carniverous are costly to maintain, according to what I knew before about the Lion issue. 

I think that Animal Rights Activists have not yet been heard in regard to this entire fiasco issue, but may be around the next corner.    

An eloquent open letter from a Kenyan student concerned with Social Policy Issues

Hi Kimberly,



Leylah Mohamed commented on Americans for Informed Democracy's Wall post.

Leylah wrote: "Thank you Kimberly for voicing these very important concerns. I am going to give my opinion on ONE African community in Columbus, Ohio because I have been there and I also have friends who live there. My opinion shall hence be on the Somali community in this area. I personally agree with you to the extent that US foreign assistance should be used to empower communities in their own homeland. It is important however, to understand that this very fact only holds valid for countries with STABLE infrastructures, for the countries that have stable governments or simply put, peace. This is not the same for Somalia. Somalia has been in an abominable war for two decades, and as if that was not atrocious enough, the almighty famine decided to bless its soils with hunger that killed a Somali child every 6 seconds! Many lives have been lost and the global community including my country Kenya, has been at the fore front assisting Somali refugees and giving Somali mothers and their children a safer aboard. This is no way trifling the reality of the situation, as you put it above with - “some of whom are crooks” in Columbus, Ohio. In every society there is a minority that tends to put grit on the majority who are adding so much to the society at large. But media seems to never have the time highlight all the positive things they do as well, probably because we are in an era where BAD NEWS SELLS! We should not focus on these “some” at the expense of the MANY who add so much to the American society at large. These immigrants also start up organizations and businesses and they use their talents and knowledge acquired in their second homes to bring tangible changes in both societies in their second home and also in their native countries. Now is if that is not SMART FOREIGN ASSISTANCE, I don’t know what is! This is all possible thanks to my country, your country and many other members of the global family.

Kind regards,


An international student from Kenya."

"Happy Halloween" by Kimberly Koerber-Bauer-Koerber

I 'thought' I saw a real witches face at the foot of my bed today...
The witch was my purse - folded a certain way...
Plus clothes...
plus my tennis shoes positioned 'just so'.
No, I thought...
Can't be.
Just a vivid imagination which is used to pull things like together often...
to draw a cartoon or picture...
Plus the Halloween Holiday.

At about 6:00 pm...
Uh oh...
Hell is breaking loose today - on Halloween.
Thanks to the resistance of Ohioians to change
into anything "but"
an Organized Crime State...

A prostition ring and show from Law Vegas is here...
People are dressed up in costumes...
A weird woman wearing a blonde wig who acted like herself
was talking in "Appalachian" sitting in front of Kroger...
Ignorant people are heard on our 'police network'
to be commented on or to  as usual and...

The librarian here at the Bexley Library is dressed up as a "general" because...
"General Research" is her today, she says.
And I am going home.

Poor John Drilling - out driving a cab tonight.
He gets to be thrown up on by drunks, while driving a cab,
Have whores masturbate in the back seat trying to get a free ride...
and hope that nothing more serious occurs.
Maybe he will be able to make money tonight, maybe he won't
At least he has a job.

Thanks to crime taking up my life and biting me time after time,
I can't seem to get hired - after the Wooster Rathole "Event"
which again included crime. :(
