Lambert, the pet lion on the loose chases cars in southern Ohio

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WAKEFIELD, Ohio — That was no dog chasing cars in southern Ohio earlier this 
week. It was a cat — a big cat.

Pike County sheriff's deputies responded to a 911 call of a lion "attacking" 
vehicles on U.S. 23 Monday morning and found a man trying to capture a 
550-pound feline near Wakefield.

Terry Brumfield told officers that his lion named Lambert had broken out of 
his pen in nearby Piketon. The owner was able to get the animal back into the 
cage without anyone getting hurt.

Brumfield and his wife have two lions. Vicki Brumfield says raising them has 
helped her husband through a bout of depression, and she says they're tame, 
like great big house cats.

Ohio doesn't require permits for exotic animals, but that would change under 
an Ohio House bill now in committee.
