  1. Maybe don’t keep wild animals if you’re not a zoo?

  2. Haha what you get for haveing them

  3. I'm so tired of hearing about animals being killed for being animals, or being somewhere they're not "supposed" to be. It's ALWAYS our ignorant and or selfish actions and yet innocent animals pay the price.

  4. Those cops are just looking for reason to shoot it. They could’ve gotten everyone out of the area versus just standing there. They probably could’ve given a warning shot and scared it away, or could’ve pepper sprayed it. They’re looking for every reason to justify killing it, but not explaining what could’ve been done better.

  5. Zebra just viciously attacked this dude and those who were trying to block his attack for no reason. I don't buy that he was protecting the females. The owner did something to that zebra!😓

  6. We told Jim discount petting zoos are a bad idea didn't he watch tiger king

  7. What the zebra is doing in America, zebra is an African wild animal!

  8. Seriously… "including small children that were there"… WHY were small children there where an aggressive zebra is attacking people? Great Parenting Skills. And then, of course, there's the point of a "domesticated" zebra – the pride and ego of man to own something exotic. We are no longer authorities over these creatures.

  9. The news has been hella funny lately lmao!

  10. Sounds like Alex Murdaugh!

  11. The zebra was killed for being a zebra – outrageous!!!

  12. Talk about Only in Ohio….

  13. Most large male animals get aggressive, when people or other animals are too close to the females in the herd.

  14. …losers….all losers..and idiots…I HATE YOU

  15. Even the zebras wants vengeance on edumb 😂

  16. Zebras are tougher horses. Don't approach zebras! How pathetic! Why are you inside the fence?

  17. That individual.. I can't even call him a man should be arrested and that Zebra should not been killed! American citizens have a right to defend themselves against anyone invading their personal space, and that includes an innocent zebra!

  18. A clear case of animal cruelty.

  19. patiently waiting for the black and white lives matter protests.

  20. Zebra are not domestic animals. Stop doing this.

  21. I haven’t seen the story yet, but my gut says you did something wrong if a zebra attacked you in Ohio.

  22. I’m sorry. There is no way back from “I need an ambulance, my zebra attacked me.”
