Is There a Nobel Prize in Zookeeping?

If so, these guys deserve it as much as Obama deserved his Peace Prize:
Gaza City zookeepers have found a creative way of drawing crowds to their dilapidated zoo — by painting their donkeys. The Marah Land Zoo's only two zebras died of hunger earlier this year when they were neglected during the Israel-Hamas war.

The popular animals were too expensive to replace, so the keepers decided to design a pair of donkeys with black and white patterns instead.

Ahmad Barghouti says a professional painter used French-manufactured hair coloring to make the donkeys look like zebras.

The Gaza "zebra" is about as real as their statements about wanting peace.
