ZANESVILLE, OH.- The hunt is finally over as all of the animals let loose from a farm in Ohio.

On Wednesday a Central Ohio community was on lockdown after dozens of wild animals escaped from their cages. They have now been accounted for, including 48 of them that were shot and killed.

Animal rights activists, law enforcement, and the community are now left asking if all of this could have been prevented.
