Zebras are striped, horse-like mammals that live across Africa.
Zebras are social animals that live together in groups. They help the local ecosystem by grazing on dry, hardened grass that is too tough for other species (such as wildebeest, ostriches and antelopes) to digest.

Every zebra is important.
Unfortunately, they are threatened by habitat fragmentation and loss, disease transmission and competition for resources with livestock, loss of genetic diversity, extreme weather and overhunting—which occurs at the local level for their meat and skins and internationally in the trophy hunting industry.

No two zebras have the same stripe pattern!
Stand with us in condemning the killing of wildlife for trophies, both in the United States and around the world. Sign the petition to end this cruel and unsportsmanlike pastime.
