“So apparently a recent visitor to the Pine Mountain Wild Animal Safari thought it would be funny during the tour to smack a friendly Zebra in the face after he rolled the window down and the animal put their head in the car to say hello,” the sheriff’s office posted on their Facebook page that used the hashtag #DontHitTheZebra.
Investigators said the video was posted on the account “Yungmal_15.”
