Runaway zebra is dead

The circus zebra that broke through its enclosure last month and stopped traffic in downtown Atlanta is dead.

A statement put out by Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey says veterinarians were unable to repair the animal’s hooves, which she injured while running around the city, despite “numerous medical treatments.”

Spokeswoman Crystal Drake told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution it “wouldn’t have been humane to keep it alive.”
