Circus zebra that led chase through downtown Atlanta euthanized because of hoof damage

March 11, 2010 |THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA - A 12-year-old circus zebra that caused a stir when he escaped from an animal compound and ran through downtown Atlanta last month has been euthanized.

A statement posted on Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey's Web site says veterinarians were unable to repair the animal's hooves, which were damaged when he sprinted through the city. The zebra named Lima led his trainers and police on a 40-minute chase Feb. 19. Police eventually helped capture the animal on an interstate.

Ringling Bros. says it has worked with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to review policies and ensure no other animals flee.
