COLUMBUS — Birgit Nazarian, of Granville, never has been involved in animal rights activism before, but the tragedy in Zanesville was enough to get her out to protest on a busy Columbus street Wednesday.

It bothered her that law enforcement officials killed 48 wild animals near Zanesville, but it also bothered her the animals were owned legally.

“It doesn’t seem appropriate for a private citizen,” she said. “It’s like having that many loaded weapons. I was shocked we didn’t have a law.”

Nazarian participated in a small, last-minute protest thrown together by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals in front of the Ohio Statehouse on Wednesday.
