Ha! I remember something similar as a chile on the beach in Puerta Vallarta.
Should have painted it black with white stripes.

And you can even find Zebra on the same continent they are on. Seems like a silly stunt to pull in Africa. I might expect this from a tiny zoo in Pakistan or some other place where getting a zebra would be really difficult…but Egypt? Weird.

Let anybody who has never painted their small black mutt as a reverse Dalmatian (white spots on black fur), using water soluble tempera paint, just to win a “Most Spots” contest in a college dog show . . . cast the first stone.
Wait, that’s all of you, isn’t it?
PS: The rules were spelled out a little more clearly the following year.

Should one continue to exhibit a partially-washed-off donkey? It’s an ethical quaggamire.

Maybe the donkey asked for the paint job, it was his lifelong ambition. This dog seems thrilled with his tiger paint
As does this one with his zebra stripes. Why deny them happiness?

His photos of the bizarre beasts went viral yet Garden Project director Mohammed Sultan insists that the “The zebra is real and not painted.”
Straight from the conservative playbook. When challenged, double down, no matter how damning the evidence.

The zebra is real. This, however, is a donkey.

This is basically the equine version of performing in blackface.
