Pickaway County, Ohio deputies killed a zebra on Sunday evening after it mauled a man’s arm, nearly ripping it from his body.
Deputies with the Pickaway County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of a zebra attack in Circleville, Ohio just after 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.
During the 911 call, Ronald Clifton, 72, said he was attacked by a zebra, and requested that the rescue squad be sent right away.
The dispatcher sounded shocked and needed to make sure that Clifton said he was attacked by a zebra, and he confirmed it.
“I think he tore my arm off…send a chopper,” Clifton said.
The dispatcher asked if the animal bit his arm, Clifton said, “Oh hell yes.”
When deputies arrived, they found Clifton laying on the ground.
According to the police report, one deputy attempted to position his cruiser between Clifton and the zebras when a large male zebra charged the driver side door and acted “very hostile.”

Springtime. Animal hormones are high.
Ohio man giving Florida man competition.
Better a zebra than a gator.
There is a reason for the distinction between wild and domestic animals.
My hate crime processor is confused. Is it a hate crime if the perpetrator is both black and white?
The US has a bad habit of importing 3rd World problems.
“I think he tore my arm off…send a chopper,”
I might have phrased that differently.
Most zebras are docile, some are aggressive, they come in all stripes.
Ask any zookeeper and they’ll tell you: zebras might look like friendly stripey horses but in reality, they are straight up a-holes.
Zebras are black, white and brown.. so they are 66% White Hispanic or at least white adjacent.
They just hate people.

They look placid but can be dangerous.
Not a zebra but I know a woman who has a donkey for her horses.
The will attack coyotes, pin them with their front hooves and rip them up.
Coyotes are afraid of donkeys. Horses like donkeys.
“..There is a reason for the distinction between wild and domestic animals....”
Yep. You’d think Shitcago and other large feral urban areas would learn that.
So this is disappointing news.
Who is to blame, the man or the zebra?
I’m not sure this is really as black and white as it appears.
We need common sense zebra control.
