It is a shame, but like Jack Hanna says, it had to be done -
"Hanna, however, says as difficult as it is to see the animals put down, it was the right decision. He says people must understand that the safety of surrounding community and the law enforcement officers come first.
"We're trying our best to make sure no one is hurt doing this. The animals, the question is, why didn't they tranquilize last night? You can't tranquilize at night. It upsets them. Its like if you got popped with a shot. They settle in, hunker down, go to sleep. We can't find them in the dark. What had to be done had to be done," said Hanna."
