Jack Hanna Criticizes Ohio

Tuesday February 14, 2012

Jack Hanna, a former Columbus Zoo director and television star of "Jack Hanna's Into the Wild", criticized Ohio lawmakers for not having done anything about the lack of laws their state has regarding exotic pet ownership.

Following the massacre of exotic animals outside Columbus late last year, lawmakers said they were going to take action and prevent things like that from ever happening again.  Well, it is now the middle of February and there are still no laws.

Hanna encouraged lawmakers to get moving and get a bill signed to restrict the ownership of large, dangerous exotic animals.  Now we will wait with the rest of the world and see if something actually gets done.

For some cute overload check out these YouTube videos of a baby veiled chameleon eating and some baby hedgehogs.  Beware though, these are ultra cute...
