The donkeys are perfectly healthy and the food coloring won't harm them. I think it's cute the owner cared so much about the children missing the zebras he would take the time to do this.
@YekaDruid Well, considering the Gaza war ended January 2009 and this video was posted in November of 2009, depending on whether or not they got the donkeys right away they could have had like 7 months to get them to a healthy weight.
@SmurfSmurf701 Thanks to lousy handling of resources, actually. Only Israel has been able to successfully cultivate Gaza. To this day I cannot figure out why Egypt demanded Israel return Gaza when they're the ones who gave it to Israel in the first place. Gave, not surrendered. Gaza was useless to them.
Granted, Gaza has never fully belonged to Israel, but that doesn't change the fact that Egypt wrongfully believes it's entitled to revoke its real estate gifts.
I had heard of this story last year. The original zebras had died of starvation. Due to economic issues, importing new ones would cost an obscene amount of money - the likes of which a dilapidated little zoo just doesn't have. They painted donkeys for the sake of the children. Kids don't care, heh.
I'd rather they waited until they can feed the animals before they seriously got any more. The place needs an overall upgrade.
@kessitar - No, the original animals had NOT "died of starvation". They were deliberately murdered by Israeli IDF soldiers in a spree of cruel thrill-killing during one of their constant terror raids upon unarmed Gaza civilians. See this video:
O my goodness. That's so stupid. First, they look like donkey with tripes and not like zebras, second, there's NO REASON to paint them. Third, it's not healthy for the donkeys.
@Striker4928 - I understand. Unfortunately, it is somehow "American policy" that many of the top presidential cabinet ministers and advisers, (such as Rahm Emanuel, son of an Israeli terror-bomber) are Israeli citizens ("dual citizens", which is a bogus term).
I don't think most Americans are really aware of this fact.

I couldn't give two shits about putting food dye on a donkey. But starving them? Great job Gaza zoo.

They lost their previous zebras due to an attack. Possibly they rescued these donkeys?

Humans routinely put the exact same "ink" in their hair. Some get a touch-up with more dye every other week.

glue161 - because israeli soldiers came in and murdered most of the animals in the zoo last year in an orgy of "thrill killing". :-(

no but why do they need zebras at the place, why cant they just not have some?
glue161 2 years ago
glue161 - OK. Now I understand what you are asking.
Remember, this is Gaza, where donkeys are common.
Zebras, even fake ones, are magical and exotic.
After all, it is a childrens zoo. So that's my best guess. :-)
