For those not reading the article, it somehow gets even crazier:
The bizarre rescue effort involved a rodeo clown, who happened to be passing, local Whitney Blomquist told KOMO.
Rodeo clowns are trained to distract and somewhat manage bulls in rodeos. He was more of an expert than anyone else there.
A rodeo clown is more like a bull wrangler than a circus clown, for those who don’t know.
I for sure wouldn’t volunteer to catch them. Zebras are notoriously mean animals.
So are bulls though, so I guess it was good that a rodeo clown got involved.
And famously incapable of being domesticated.
I didn’t know this. Searched “zebra temperament.” Checks out. Kill lions.
Is it missing or is it on a quest to avenge Harambe?
Twist: All zebras were captured but the stripes are throwing off the counts.
This made my day much brighter. Thank you.
Have they checked on the penguins?
Someone is playing Jumanji again.
I lived in North Bend for six years, and I’m not even a zebra. Nothing much ever happened there but the town, together with neighboring Snoqualmie, was used in some of the Twin Peaks filming, none of which involved zebras AFAIK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_Peaks_(fictional_town)
Fake news. Zebras aren’t real, they’re just horses painted to look that way, Big Zoo is lying to you, WAKE UP!!

LOL the caption of the photo called that the eastern outskirts of Seattle. You have to drive a full 45 minutes+ from Seattle to get to where this happened.
I think it’s a reasonable description to people who have only heard of Seattle.
It reminds me of someone who told me they were from San Francisco. In fact, they were from Richmond which is only loosely part of the San Francisco Bay Area.
I’d have preferred some mention like “this occurred approximately 75 miles east of Seattle” or whatever the correct distance is.
You’ll never catch me, coppers!
