CARROLL COUNTY, Ind. – A zebra died due to the extreme cold in Carroll County.
Sherriff Tobe Leazenby told WLFI one of two zebras on the Pittsburg property died as a result of the cold.
Leazenby said investigators checked the scene, and the property met standards for outside animals, making shelter, food and water available. Investigators said it appeared the zebra got stuck in the fence and couldn’t get free.
A woman who posted a photo of the zebras said the shelter was “a carport with open ends.” Her photo of the zebras showed them out in the cold without a blanket.
The property also has kangaroos, but Leazenby told WLFI that the kangaroos were inside a shelter.
The incident remains under investigation.

Second and third or below rated zoos should not be allowed to operate. The trouble is, I don’t think the ‘standards’ are all that high. A zebra is not a cold climate animal. There’s no excuse for this, and a ‘livelihood’ like this should not take precedence over animal welfare. License should be revoked!!!!
I agree; these “zoos” should be shut down. It’s ridiculous that animals that have evolved in warm climates are then left to freeze to death in bumfuck indiana.
