A Washington Post investigation found Jerry Lee Holly violated animal welfare laws for decades, which experts say should have kept him from ever having the Maryland zebras that escaped in 2021. https://t.co/tmWR7VcCNZ
@washingtonpost It baffles me that the 39 zebras weren't immediately taken away from him. And that we have no idea where they are. How hard is it to track down 39 zebras? It's unbelievable how much abuse this guy has gotten away with. He deserves much more than 9 mos in jail and a nominal fine.
@terrierpwrtrax@Curious_Kurz Really? I went there in 2020 and the animals seemed well taken care of -- but obviously I was just a visitor and not an inspector.
@Curious_Kurz Yeah, he hasn’t seemed too concerned. Zebras that have escaped elsewhere in the country have been caught within hours. Leesburg zoo being one example.
