It’s weird they need to close trails for a zebra when there are bears, rabid animals, cliffs, falling trees, and all manner of hazards when hiking.
So tired of this nanny attitude.
So tired of this nanny attitude.
Talk about things to get tired of, it's people automatically thinking things are nannying, or whatever their specific anti-todays-government thing is, and then being sure to spread what they have decided something is, in their infinite wisdom, without taking even a few minutes to think beyond their immediate bias.
We all own nature.
How other than closing the trail while they search could they realistically target that behavior? Put checkpoints at all the entrances and only let people in who could prove they had planned their outing before the zebra got loose? Require people to attend a lecture on not scaring the zebra and pass a test showing they understood before they can use the trail?

Seems very heavy handed. These park staff really seem to forget who they work for.
I’m still annoyed that they closed trails during Covid. Avoid the outdoors, do inside activities instead…
I always assumed this was more about personnel than users of the trail.
