I wonder where farrier Gary Hill was at. This zebra sure needed some work.

A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

One of my memories of the old Pittsburgh Zoo was an eland yard that was very wet. Must have been wet and muddy a long time because nearly a quarter of the yard was underwater - and duckweed was growing on the water. Some of the other hoofed stock yards were as bad, just not maintained.
The old Zoo was pretty crummy but it did have a few claims to fame. It was home to a claimed 27' foot long reticulated python. I saw the snake, didn't measure it but it was big. Pittsburgh also had the 3rd black rhino birth about 1962. The new Pittsburgh Zoo is very nice with some first-rate programs.
Wade, funny you say that. I trimmed many Zebras before I ever trimmed a horse...:))
