It looks like Nyttend has just done the merge. Thank you. Two stubs in this case make a start class article, I think, so I have re-rated it. Don Lammers (talk) 16:48, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NCEVENTS. The proposed title is also more easily recognizable, since the event is usually referred to as the "Zanesville animal escape"[1][2][3] or similar[4][5]
in the media.

Note that roughly half of the content in the current article

Nit pick about the title

Was this really an "escape"? The animals were "freed" / set loose, by their owner. They didn't really "escape"? No? I can't think of a great title at the moment ... but, it seems to me, they were "released", rather than they "escaped". Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 04:45, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of RS's that I see call it something like "animal massacre". Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:30, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
