Humane Society seeks legislation after lion escapes

by kittymowmow on November 29, 2007


To protect citizens and instill safety upon the community, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) issued a press release challenging Ohio to regulate the ownership of dangerous, exotic pets, following a lion’s escape in Wakefield last week.

The lion, named Lambert, owned by Terry Brumfield, escaped and was reported chasing cars on U.S. Route 23. The lion was recaptured without any reported injuries or visible property damage.

“(The lions) are well trained and well contained. They are not a danger, when they are well contained.” said Brumfield. “Accidents happen.”

Kitty Mowmow’s Animal Expo posted about this event previously in this post.
