Take a good look at his face people. This is what drugs and alcohol does to you.

"...but were told they could not enter because food was being served that night."

Hey pal, we got standards.

"This is what drugs and alcohol does to you."

When are people going to admit the fact that alcohol is a drug, a drug that causes more death, violence, misery and broken marriages than all other drugs combined? I get sick and tired of these apologists for alcohol, who have the mindset that "my drug is legal; @!$%# the rest of you".

eek...what could this guy's girlfriend possibly look like? <shudders>

I am more shocked this guy has a girlfriend than I am by the zebra and parrot in the car. Wtf?

I'm thinking the zebra IS his girlfriend.

sichuan, litten up baby. the wrold has to get drunk to forget what we have in the white house. i try to do my share everyday. lol

He doesn't LOOK drunk does he?

Blue and Gold Macaws are sold in abundance and make great pets but where in the world do you buy a Zebra and is their Zebra housetrained???

"Dad" looked really hammered!!! WOW!!! ☺

What a couple of idiots. I feel bad for the animals, they have no control over what kind of loser buys them. These two people have no business being around children or animals, they obviously can't take proper care of themselves much less animals. What a waste of space the two drunken slobs are!

The zebra and parrot should be taken away from him. This is why people should have to pass a test to own an animal... or have a child.

It could have been worse....he could have had a pink elephant and an gold monkey (the cops really don't like them) in his car!

Hundred bucks says he fu@ked the parrot while the zebra watched...

Jerry Springer news.

..."Dude, you're so drunk, your Zebra should drive you home and the parrot should put you to bed."

....to the zebra why the long face?

to the parrot "Hey bird, why do you like to hang out with a referee and a drinker?" to which the parrot responds "Someone has to be the designated driver, the guy's as drunk as a skunk and the zebra is as blind as a bat. I'm the only one that has a license to fly down the highway."

"Sorry Polly, when we said we serve "crackers" we didn't mean those little flat bisquity things."

......and the bartender says "Where did you get that" and the Parrot answers "The Zebra won the drunk in a raffle".

..". and the guy says, "My buddy and his parrot just got out of jail, and I wanted to show them a good time.

... and the bartender says, "where did you get the donkey?" The guy says, "It's not a donkey, it's a zebra." To which the bartender replies, "I was talking to the zebra."

to the zebra "no horseshoes, no service"; so the zebra flips him the bird.

did you leave the penguin at home tonight?

And the bartender says, "Sir, I regret to inform you that we've just become a dry state."

polly wants another shot!

Depends on the age of the Zebra.

I take it you have never been to Iowa. They call that a "Sunday Drive".

Agreed, Julie. Doesn't look like it was his first drink with these animals.

I was going to say that Julie, but you beat me to it.

Good one!

agreed. very good. so glad i'm not the only one reading useless news stories today.

Lol!!!!

There is an opening for room mates in Utah.

LMFAO!!!

You want to touch the animals? Zebras definitely belong in mini vans.

I agree about the zebra. There should be regulations on the owning of one.

Rough looking or not...that does not mean that these people don't care for either the Zebra or parrot poorly. It's as likely that they take good care of them as not...just as likely as some pith helmeted safari jacketed aussie accented supposed animal expert would abuse them. But,simply judging by the guys appreance at the time of this picture..ie mug shot...youv'e decided unanimously and without question that he and his wife are completely unfit to own or care for an animal.

Talk about judging a book by its cover!....and here is the power of visual media and scarce reporting hard at work where a picture is worth a thousand words despite the fact that someone took the time and effort to research and write an article on a man arrested for drunk driving simply because he happened to have a Zebra in tow at the time, yet not one word!...was mentioned about animal abuse,neglect or routine negligence! Here it is in black and white....the clear evidence that our legal and justice systems are in dire jeapordy and are fast being made into useless and antiquated effects of a crumbling society... when the entire world is given scant to no evidence of wrong doing yet are presented with the opportunity to determine and debate guilt or innocence for all the public to view before anyone is even charged with a crime!

I pray to God i never have to face a jury in this country for anything that will decide the fate of my future...some suspected wrongdoing that catches the eye of todays media circus,because there is no way in hell or high water you'll ever find 12 unbiased souls on this earth who have not already formed an opinion of your character and nature and already framed your guilt or innocence before even going to jury selection.

This poor bastard will have one hell of a tough row to hoe in the court of public opinion from now on and likely have his image plastered all over the web for days if not weeks while a bunch of arm chair jurors defame his character... and for what exactly? Other than having too many drinks to drive and owning a Zebra? And then being unfortunate enough to have caught the attention of some crap shoveling hack of an internet reporter!

Tough crap, if you don't want to be judged by looks, then look better. A person only gets one chance to make a first impression. REAL animal people don't take their animals to the bar. Real animal people don't have time to go to the bar.

Real animal people floss, and button their shirts on the right, and mow their lawns.

(Sorry. The self-righteousness was kind of funny. Yeah, this guy's a weirdo who owns an exotic animal, but that seems to be the rule, not the exception. It doesn't really matter how many teeth he has left--as long as he can count the number of zebras he has with him at the moment and come to one, then he's probably within his rights.)

"Take the animals away from these quacks and give them to a zoo." ...where they can be properly locked away.

montana- Just so you know, "first impression" is the very definition of predjudice. And as a REAL animal person, I have plenty of time to go to a bar because my shirt is buttoned and its raining so I can't mow the lawn.

The iguana's taking a break from the whole bar scene. Too many guys eyeballing her in binocular vision because of what she can do with a swizzle stick.

Tiajuana? Just a guess.

I just googled it and according to

http://answers.ask.com/Science/Nature/where_can_i_buy_a_zebra

It is illegal to buy them in the US unless you have a license and/or you are a zoo. Since the drunk doesn't look like a zoo, I guess the question should be, "How did he get a license to own a zebra?"

Ah Ha!! I just made myself laugh! You want to where to buy a zebra..?!?!

At ZebrasRus of course!!!!

I can't believe that's real, but didn't surprise me it was in CA.

Being a pretty normal person from Iowa, I too shake my head in disbelief... This is NOT an Iowa thing.. it's a crazy people thing! So embarrassing!

Frankly, it looks like it could have been a Florida thing if he just had the money to retire down south.

Zebras are mean mothers! I know someone who almost lost their hand from a zebra bite. who woulda thought a zebra!!

Maybe after Gandalf hit that pipe-weed the night after Bilbo's 111th birthday! (Omitted from the film.)
