Muskingum County Animal Farm

Visit, or rather view from a distance the site of one of the most infamous and tragic fascinations with animals in world history.  Terry Thompson, before committing suicide, released fifty-six of his exotic animals. Among the animals released were lions, bengal tigers, wolves, and grizzly bears. Forty-eight of number had to be shot by local law enforcement, while the rest were taken to zoos and aquariums. Please be aware that this is a private property.
