It was a truely sad situation for the animals all around. The guy had way too many, and lacked the funds to care for them properly. This should really be regulated more. The public and the animals deserve better treatment and security. I hate that they had to be shot, but if it kept some little kid from being mauled or killed, it was necessary. There just wasn't time nor personel trained to use tranquilizers.
The man who owned the refuge showed no concern for the animals he set free. He had to know what would happen to them.
