Zebra Goes to the Zoo


To the naked eye this might look like a painting for the series "Paintings Your Mom Would Like", but I'm not really sure your mom would like it. Also, this painting is actually meant to expose something the FBI didn't want me to tell you. Your mom might not want to hear this.

In some parts of the world animals can go to jail. You'll see a lot of lions in jail for eating buffalo, snakes in jail for eating mice and bears for eating endangered salmon. Since zebras are herbivores, they can go to jail for things like eating grass on private land. Since they can't read the no trespassing signs, there are a lot of zebras in jail.

And where is this jail you ask? It's right in your back yard actually. It's called 'the zoo'. Yes, the animals you see in the zoo are the criminals. They are locked up, each with a different sentences. They'd never tell you that because they can't speak.

This painting is a depiction of a zebra wearing the traditional jail garb. Zebras generally prefer the horizontal black and white stripes because it blends with their fur. They all have a different story to tell, but they are unable to tell it.

So I made this painting to tell you the story. Any money made off of this painting will go towards bailing wild animals out of jail.
