WHY WHY WHY.

 

[BorgRae]

not good

 

[Cadfael&Coffee]

erm wow.... i am genuinely speechless.

 

[Aidey]

Heard of a Zorse but never a Zony/Zetland

 

[muddygreymare]

This makes me angry :/ and Zetland? Seriously! I have one question.. why?!

 

[Ibblebibble]

the why is easy to answer, money pure and simple not a very well thought out cross, neither well known for their sweet temprements

 

[Firefly*]

Cute

 

[stencilface]

I think thats brilliant will make a great kids pony *snigger*

.....zitland!

 

[joeanne]

Its bad on every level....but you know whats worse.......*whispers* I like it!
I'll get my coat now.....

 

[FanyDuChamp]

I have no idea why someone would do that.
FDC

 

[joeanne]

The biggest question is though, would you need a licence to keep one? You do a zebra.....

*whispers* So do I.

I'll bet it's as stubborn as a stubborn thing having a stubborn fit though.

 

[jhoward]

i doubt you would need a licence as wouldnt be classed as a zebra would be, i also wondered what its temprement would be like.

a semi wild shetland x with attitude..

Pah I have one of those already......
Little Stig!!!

 

[jinglejoys]

Not all that rare whether it is right is debatable.However at least it won't breed and that is a point in its favour when despite a resetion, people are still breeding from horses just because they can.

 

[Alphamare]

It's so cute though.

Actually I guess there is your answer!

 

[Shantara]

Adorable!
I don't have an issue with breeding weird things together, so long as the baby is healthy and not...deformed.
However, I don't agree with breeding to sell.

ALTHOUGH! Woof/dogs are pets, house cat/servals are pets, so why not horse/zebra?

 

[tallyho!]

Interesting even if it has been hit with the ugly stick.

Buy it? No thanks.

 

[sheep]

Cute in an interesting way.. but doesn't necessarily mean that they should be bred. As others have said, I'm sure it has an 'interesting' temperament..

 

[MurphysMinder]

Looks like horse folk are jumping on the designer dog band wagon, it seems the principle is find the 2 breeds that least compliment each other, and then give them a nauseatingly cute name, charge a fortune and you're in business.

 

[FairyLights]

*whispers* So do I.

I'll bet it's as stubborn as a stubborn thing having a stubborn fit though.

^^^^^^
this
I will whisper, I like it too I wonder if it will make the perfect co-operative childs first pony?

I asked a breeder of Zorses/Zonkeys what they are like temperament wise and I got they are basically zebras.

They're very stubborn and can be very dangerous when pushed to do something they don't want too. They are also highly territorial and will attack another horse if its in 'their' territry' so would have to be well away from other horses and animals at all times.

Not something I would go for and horses/zebras donkeys/zebras have been getting crossed since the early 90's and its still not come in to fashion because of the animals behaviour temperament!

 

[5horses2dogsandacat]

*very quietly sits in the corner* I quite like it... its funny little thing and boy I bet it has some character.

Ah well I doubt very much there will be a trend and over breeding of these types, I get more angered over the over-breeding of native ponies that only end up with the meat man... or obvious breeding that wont ever work.

Being a little quirky least it will find a home with some who wants something a 'little different'.

Google tells us seller is from Eden Ostrich World which has closed for business, suspect they may have had other exotics and maybe pets corner--could this have been an accident??
A preventable accident?

 

[midi]

when I saw the link "coloured contacts" I thought there was going to be eye contacts for horses! *dumb* that would be bad!

Can't say I would want the stripey shetland, ugly...

 

[jhoward]

A zebra is a wild animal, that has never reached domestication levels, thats the 1st big reason not to do it.

WHY WHY WHY.

Who's the doughnut that owns the Zebra stallion? Clearly just interested in a nice little earner. As for the mares owner, they need their head testing. Bloody idiots.

Are there not enough domesticated animals requiring homes, without these ***** breeding hybrids that have behavioural issues and require specialist care?

 

[mulledwhine]

Just one question!!! Where on earth do you find a zebra to cross ?
