Earning Their Stripes?

Five zebras went on the run from a private farm in Prince George's County, Maryland, USA. The animals have proved to be elusive critters (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/sep/10/zebras-escape-maryland). The zebras have been too fast and too nervous of people, thus far, for the Prince George County Animal Services Department. These animals have been on the loose for more than a week. Although the zebras are finding their own grazing, it is hoped to entice them by setting up a feeding station. Only on their recapture, will the Animal Services Department have earned their stripes.
