Three wolves shot dead after being cornered by police when they escaped zoo through damaged fence

Yet when prisoners escape it's not shoot to kill, no,  just costing a lot of money and man hours to hunt them down, lock them up (again) and then the working man continues to pay for their jail time... But animals? Shoot em dead cause THEY pose a threat....

Three wolves were shot dead yesterday after their pack escaped from a zoo near a residential street. Families were told to keep children indoors as experts warned the animals could pose a threat. A police helicopter, dozens of police cars and armed zookeepers were scrambled after the pack of five escaped through a damaged fence. Four were quickly recovered with two shot dead, but it took more than eight hours before the final wolf was found and killed.
