The article discusses an incident in Ennistymon, County Clare, where a man brought a zebra and a pony into a pub during an annual horse fair, which sparked outrage on social media. Martina Kenny, co-founder of a charity, reported the incident to the police, who stated the man owned the zebra legally. Despite this, Kenny emphasized the dangers posed to both the animals and fairgoers, advocating for better animal welfare regulations, as similar incidents reportedly occur frequently at fairs across Ireland.
"It's not acceptable. He brought a pony and a zebra into a pub, from a busy fair, kids were there. What if something happened?"
"Things are out of control. Animal welfare should be top priority, somebody from the department of agriculture should be down there, but nobody is, nobody is checking for passports or chips."
