Someone please tell me this isn't real.
A zoo in Gaza cannot afford to buy zebras and has instead painted stripes on two donkeys, AFP reports.
Israel controls the movement of goods into and out of Gaza and only allows in humanitarian and basic supplies. The zoo could smuggle zebras into Gaza through tunnels connecting the strip with Egypt, but that would cost $30,000. The zoo director, Mahmud Barghut, told AFP: "We couldn't afford real zebras." Donkeys only cost $700.

Re: Poor donkeys
Animal cruelty and general ridiculousness aside, those are pretty good paint jobs.
They used henna. I have to agree they are good jobs. But I feel sorry for the donkeys.
I was thinking this too! The Donkeys do look sad....but I guess donkeys always look kinda sad.
