The second Lord Rothschild took a coach pulled by six zebras to Buckingham Palace to prove they could be tamed.  He didn't mention that they'd killed a groom in the training!

I find this a bit sad, like watching elephants and bears dancing for man's entertainment or lions jumping through hoops.
Animals like horses and dogs seem to really enjoy showing off but animals that should be living in the wild? :-\ :-\ :(

I agree Sylvia though the zebra is a member of the horse family.  We went horse riding in South Africa some years ago and the zebras allowed the horses to mix in with them.  Amazing.


Lord R through his fascination with nature effectively founded the Nature Conservancy.  Wood Walton Fen exists only because of him.  On the other hand the Balfour declaration was addressed to him.  That's had some rather less positive consequences.

Zebras are beautiful creatures and I agree with the not selling as pets and not taking away at 30 days etc. thats disgusting to me. I would think you need a special licence to keep one  so probably not a pet situation anyway, more a specialist thing. Those Americans can be mad about animals literally. ::)
Paul there are Zebra clips on a lot of forums and on utube, I am sure Rachel has seen them by now.
