Owner of escaped Md. zebras agrees to forfeit animals

The man who owned the three zebras that escaped and ran loose for weeks in Prince George’s County in 2021, has made an agreement with the USDA that requires him to forfeit his animals.

Jerry Holly, who owned the zebras, has agreed to sell, donate, or transfer ownership of all of the animals on his property by mid-February.

The three zebras in question escaped from his farm and ran around the Croom section of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, during fall 2021. One of the zebras was caught in an illegal trap and died.
