The news I've heard said he complied with the state requirements for exotic
animals - as loose as they might be.
Also that the cops initially shot some of the escapees with tranquilizers
but they had little effect and the decision was made to take them out rather
than put human life at risk.

People are allowed to make bad decisions, that's what being free is all
about. Hopefully they'll make more good decisions than bad. In this case
the authorities seem to have been a bit trigger happy and the owner of the
animals seems to have been more than a little irresponsible.

Well, there's also the viewpoint that it should be necessary to get
a permit (with real, hard-to-answer qualification questions) before
being allowed to house that many wild animals on your property.
I understand that this comes up fair and square against the doctrine
of removing excessive government regulation of private individuals.
