Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
For those not reading the article, it somehow gets even crazier:
The bizarre rescue effort involved a rodeo clown, who happened to be passing, local Whitney Blomquist told KOMO.
Rodeo clowns are trained to distract and somewhat manage bulls in rodeos. He was more of an expert than anyone else there.
A rodeo clown is more like a bull wrangler than a circus clown, for those who don't know.
I for sure wouldn't volunteer to catch them. Zebras are notoriously mean animals.
So are bulls though, so I guess it was good that a rodeo clown got involved.
And famously incapable of being domesticated.
I didn’t know this. Searched “zebra temperament.” Checks out. Kill lions.
Twist: All zebras were captured but the stripes are throwing off the counts.
This made my day much brighter. Thank you.
Have they checked on the penguins?
I lived in North Bend for six years, and I'm not even a zebra. Nothing much ever happened there but the town, together with neighboring Snoqualmie, was used in some of the Twin Peaks filming, none of which involved zebras AFAIK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_Peaks_(fictional_town)
Fake news. Zebras aren't real, they're just horses painted to look that way, Big Zoo is lying to you, WAKE UP!!
Someone is playing Jumanji again.
LOL the caption of the photo called that the eastern outskirts of Seattle. You have to drive a full 45 minutes+ from Seattle to get to where this happened.
I think it's a reasonable description to people who have only heard of Seattle.
It reminds me of someone who told me they were from San Francisco. In fact, they were from Richmond which is only loosely part of the San Francisco Bay Area.
I'd have preferred some mention like "this occurred approximately 75 miles east of Seattle" or whatever the correct distance is.
You'll never catch me, coppers!
