I propose that we change the article name to 2011 Ohio Mass Exotic Animal Escape and Killing. Heavenlyblue ( talk) 02:22, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
I think that the use of the word "escape" is misleading. It implies (actually, it explicitly states) that the animals escaped from the compound. In fact, they were set free and, thus, simply walked away. "Escape" implies that the animals forcefully extracted themselves from the confines. Can we think of a better title? Thanks! ( Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 15:02, 20 October 2011 (UTC))
As more information comes in, these numbers will need to be reviewed and corrected. Heavenlyblue ( talk) 02:32, 20 October 2011 (UTC) Since verifiability is so important to this site there are many things that need fixed. No proof that it was suicide and no proof that Terry Thompson was the person that released the animals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.230.203.254 ( talk) 14:55, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
Is it really proper to call this the Ohio 'exotic animal release' when there is no such thing as an exotic animal release? The phrase is acceptable, I guess, but its place it the title implies that a 'mass animal release' is an actual kind of event, like a war or uprising or disaster. theBOBbobato ( talk) 16:20, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
For what it's worth, according to this Esquire article there were no bengal tigers present on the farm:
I can find multiple reports of the on-scene officers reporting Bengal tigers, but this is all obviously from eyeballing of the scene by people who are not vetrinarians. For example, it could be very easy to mistake a Pitt Bull mutt for a pure bred Pitt Bull. Tvon ( talk) 00:04, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
Could we just merge this with Muskingum County Animal Farm? It seems that many thought there was potential for this article, but no one has expand this article since the event or the deletion discussion. Both articles are stubs, so it is better to merge them.-- KAVEBEAR ( talk) 20:40, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
