'We're cowboys...and found ourselves on a zebra roundup,' a former bullfighter and rodeo clown said after he helped capture zebras that bolted from their trailer.
Four zebras escaped a trailer and were running amok on the roads of Washington state this weekend – and it took the state patrol and a former rodeo bullfighter to wrangle them back to safety. Rick Johnson, a public information officer for the Washington State Patrol, posted on social media on Sunday that the zoo-like fiasco was 'a first' for him and all of the state patrol troopers involved.
He told The New York Times that he worked for nearly 15 years as both a bullfighter and a rodeo clown, and that he and his wife Julie Danton were driving home from a cattle drive when they stopped to help Keltgen.'Not every day you get that phone call,' Danton told KIRO. '...We're cowboys and we help other people ... and found ourselves on a zebra roundup.' He told The Times that 'nobody trains you for wrangling zebras,' but he made it happen anyways.
