From the News: Cairo zoo is accused of painting donkeys to look like zebras

A Cairo zoo is accused of painting donkeys to look like zebras.  Laughter and derision ensue

Mahmoud Sarhan, 18, posted this image on Facebook after his trip to Cairo's International Garden.  The zoo claims the animal is a zebra and not a painted donkey. (Mahmoud Sarhan/Facebook)

For when you absolutely, positively, have to have that new exhibit and just don't have the budget.  The thing is, I feel like this would actually have been easier to pull off in the US, Canada, Australia, or the UK.  This is Egypt.  I mean, I know Cairo is a major city, but a feel like a lot more Egyptians have probably seen a donkey before than Americans or Canadians have. 

"A" for effort, guys...
