PETA Statement: Zoo Paints Donkey to Look Like Zebra

PETA Asia President Jason Baker has issued the following statement in response to reports that a zoo painted a donkey to resemble a zebra:

Animals aren’t props for a zoo’s publicity stunt. Painting a donkey to look like a zebra can cause stress and potential harm to the animal, all to draw crowds and generate social media attention. PETA encourages people to skip zoos and other animal exhibits and choose attractions that don’t exploit living, feeling beings for entertainment.
