Wild Animal Ownership Banned in Ohio

Wild Animal Ownership Banned in Ohio Care2 Healthy & Green Living
There appears to be a lack of awareness about the difference between wild and domesticated animals in some people. One of the incidents that focused attention on the issue of wild animal ownership was the tragic death of a young Ohio man after being mauled by a caged bear. Brent Kandra worked at the home of a man who had a collection of wolves and other large predators including eight bears, four tigers, and a lion. Kandra was killed one day when he opened the bear’s cage for a routine feeding. The bear had never previously been aggressive with him.
Whatever the reason for this action, my belief is that man should not cage wildlife to "enjoy" watching them or for personal profit. The ethics of the use of animals for scientific experimentation is also questionable as man learns to live in harmony with nature instead of constant conflict and war.
