Guns and Crazies Don't Mix



This is a picture of crazy pants Terry Thompson and a couple of his equine buddies. You may have heard about Terry who committed suicide, but not before he released all of the animals he kept on his property.


And no, Terry didn't just keep horses. He had lions and tigers and bears -- oh my!


When his 73 acre insane asylum in Zanesville, Ohio was raided three years ago, federal agents found 133 weapons and because of that he spent a year in prison having just been released on September 30th. As you may have guessed, his suicide weapon of choice was a gun.


The authorities in Zanesville killed all the animals that Thompson released except for those that had already killed each other. That's the saddest thing about this whole mess, in our humble opinion.


Before this tragedy there had been numerous complaints against Thompson concerning his treatment of the animals and nothing was done. Now, quite obviously, it's too late.
