    Why did they tell the cops to shoot to kill? There aren't enough animal handlers around or tranquilizer guns? What a shame.

    And the city? They must have collected lots of permit $$$ from this guy. Blame them?

    Thompson has been warned repeatedly over the last decade to get his animals under control ? and no less than 30 times in the past year. He was arrested in April of 2005 for cruelty and torture of cattle and bison he had on his property, according to the website pet-abuse.com. He was charged with one count of having an animal at large, two counts of rendering animal waste and one count of cruelty to animals.

      It is a shame, but like Jack Hanna says, it had to be done -

      "Hanna, however, says as difficult as it is to see the animals put down, it was the right decision. He says people must understand that the safety of surrounding community and the law enforcement officers come first.

      "We're trying our best to make sure no one is hurt doing this. The animals, the question is, why didn't they tranquilize last night? You can't tranquilize at night. It upsets them. Its like if you got popped with a shot. They settle in, hunker down, go to sleep. We can't find them in the dark. What had to be done had to be done," said Hanna."
