From the News: Giraffes among 10 animals killed in 'tragic' Ohio safari wildlife park fire


Yesterday evening, while many of us were sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner, the staff of African Safari Wildlife Park in northern Ohio were facing their worst nightmare.  A barn fire claimed the lives of ten of their animals - three giraffes, three bongos, three red river hogs, and a springbok.  While it is very fortunate that no human lives were lost, the staff, I'm sure, are devastated by the loss of the animals that they care for.  The cause of the fire is as of yet unknown. 

My deepest condolences to the staff.  I hope they are getting the comfort and support they need is this unimaginable time.

The cause of the barn fire that killed 10 animals has yet to be determined, African Safari Wildlife Park officials said.
