The Beasts Are on the Streets is a 1978 American made-for-television thriller film produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions (although known as an animation studio, this was one of several live-action Hanna-Barbera productions), directed by Peter R. Hunt and starring Carol Lynley, Billy Green Bush and Philip Michael Thomas. It was filmed on location in Grand Prairie, Texas and Arlington, Texas and originally broadcast on NBC on May 18, 1978.

Plot

A careening tanker truck rips through the fence of a Texas wildlife preserve, unleashing an untamed force of wild animals on an unsuspecting community which includes bison, zebras, camels, antelopes, ostriches, elephants, lions, rhinos, tigers and bears. Carol Lynley and Dale Robinette co-star as, respectively, a dedicated veterinarian and the head ranger of the park for wild animals.

They are both joined by park rangers and local police officers as they desperately scramble to recapture the escaped animals while two trigger-happy hunters (Billy Green Bush and Burton Gilliam) decide to go big-game hunting amid this community chaos.[1]
