How we say goodbye to a fugitive zebra
Following up this blog's previous honk-examining coverage.
The AJC: "Lima, a 12-year-old circus zebra that ran through downtown Atlanta last month, has been euthanized, according to a statement on Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey's Web site. … The animal's hooves were damaged when he ran through downtown Atlanta and eventually ended up on the Downtown Connector. The statement says veterinarians were unable to repair the animal's hooves."
CNN's Rick Sanchez, via Mediaite and salsa music:
WXIA comment: "She would have made it if that taxi cab hadn't cut her off when she tried to merge over to the northbound I75 interchange. RIP Lima militant Zebra's around the world are in mourning today."
Zebra medicine. The 365 Days of Gratitude and Joy blog:
my heart feels this news deeply… about "Lima" the zebra that escaped from the circus grounds after being frightened by a loud noise…he/she was euthanized this week. Here's a brief article about it. I am thankful to Lima…she's pointed me to deeper wisdom within myself, and deeper acknowlegment and awareness of what's going on within me..and I thank her…. I'm getting teary; plus…animals shouldn't be in captivity anyway! I look upon my awareness of this happening, as a blessing; I'm rarely in that part of the building at work, and if I'd not been, I probably wouldn't have seen the news report. I will work with Lima's gift…her "Zebra Medicine" with gratitude, love and reverence for her spirit. Thank you, Lima… may you rest in peace…and may we all be touched by your spirit.
The Red and Black, the student paper at Georgia: Maybe a correction to its "Vet school heals wayward zebra" headline? As a Barnum & Bailey staffer told it, "I don't want to speculate, I'm not a veterinarian."
