“At first, they say it’s great to own or take care of a horse just to have sex with it. “We have an exhaustive knowledge of the practice here at the ASPCA as many of our members are reformed zoophiles themselves,” Smith said. Zoophilia, also known as zoosexuality or bestiality, is the practice of sexual intercourse between humans and non-human animals. They’re known for having brutal, barbarous, torturous sex with the strangest beasts they can find, and their involvement in this case is no surprise.” “The tattoo shop, Horse Tats, and its owner, Rocco Mandolin, have been linked to zoophilia in the past. “Basically, zookeepers were pimping out animal ass and penis in return for ink, cash, cars, and other perks,” said ASPCA Detective Roy Smith. “Taking advantage of their alluring, well-groomed, sometimes scented, tasty, potentially juicy, often pulsating, always profitable orifices for the purpose of sexual gratification is unacceptable.”Īccording to information provided by investigators, it is believed that multiple zookeepers currently employed by the zoo have provided access to the animals in return for tattoos and other benefits provided by a local tattoo-shop owner. “These innocent creatures rely on us for their survival and we must all hold ourselves to certain ethical and moral standards,” the statement read. Hanna apologized for letting everyone down, and expressed sorrow for the many animals brutally penetrated and defiled. In the best interests of the zoo and the community at large, I feel it’s best to separate from the organization.” “In this matter, however, I’ve acted inappropriately. “I have dedicated my life to the success of the Columbus Zoo and to the preservation of wildlife everywhere,” the statement said. Since March, when evidence of the dishonesty was made public, Hanna has faced an increasing amount of criticism and numerous calls to step down.Ĭolumbus Zoo spokesman Joel Anderson announced the resignation at a press conference, reading a statement Hanna had personally prepared. In a text message sent to Karniak, Hanna said, “Terrelle may be caught up in something here in Columbus. Instead, he reached out to Briar’s hometown mentor, Ned Karniak, a man he first met in 2008 when he was recruiting the nation’s top zookeeping prospect to bring his talents to Columbus. Hanna responded by saying he would look into the matter personally, but never did. One man mentioned ‘banging hairy Australian ass.’ Concerned they were having sex with her. Gave access to Kiki’s cage (female koala bear). One email, addressed to “J.J.” (Jungle Jack) in November of 2010, read as follows: “Terrelle Briar (zookeeper) let some guys in last night.


Although Hanna answered no at that time, emails and other documents released by the zoo later revealed that he was indeed aware of the activities and had taken steps to cover them up. Hanna’s involvement began in February, when he was first asked by ASPCA investigators whether he was aware of any inappropriate activities being undertaken by zoo staff. In early January, rumors of sexual impropriety at the zoo started reaching the Columbus ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), which launched a formal investigation shortly thereafter. The wedding invitations were my favorite detail! I loved the florals too! Such great texture and the perfect muted colors to complement the navy and pink reception tables.Columbus Zoo & Aquarium Director Emeritus Jack Hanna resigned his position and formally severed other contractual ties to the organization on Monday, more than six months after allegations of romantic relationships between humans and animals at the zoo first came to light.

It was cuteness overload and such a fun thing for everyone to see! Of course, the highlight of the whole day were the zoo animals guests were able to interact with! Sunny the sloth, Trout the penguin, and Cullen the emotional support dog for the cheetahs. To get the best of both worlds, they had a family only ceremony and then invited all their friends to join them for the reception! Zach and Jillian wanted to do something very small and intimate, but also couldn’t imagine their wedding without their best friends. Zach and Jillian had such a great day this past weekend for their wedding! They’re both animal lovers, so it was only natural that they have their special day at the Columbus zoo.
