    My parents had a zebra when I was growing up in Northern California. He was skittish, to the point that this animal lover never got closer than 10 feet until it wound bolt. He brayed at sunrise, easily drowning out the roosters. He sadly ingested part of a mat in his stall which ended up killing him.

    After my parents moved once I left home, they got 2 more of these fancy donkeys.

      Pro life tip to people like them: Use non-toxic, specialized decor when sheltering animals.

      The best shelters and zoos never have issues like the carpet incident because every big or small aspect and nook and cranny is catered. They don’t buy generic room brands for example.
