After a major invasion of the Gaza Strip in late 2008,
twenty-year-old Mahmoud Barghout decided to become a zookeeper. He
saw that the children around him were exhausted by war, and so to
provide respite, he set up the Happy Land Zoo. But the war made
feeding and caring for the animals impossible--they died of thirst,
hunger, or injury--and replacing them meant finding large sums of
money and overcoming the blockade or the risk of bringing them in
through tunnels connecting the Strip to Egypt. So Mr. Barghout came
up with a solution for at least one animal: he dyed two local white
donkeys with dark stripes, to create zebras, which visiting
children could touch and even ride.
