What 38spl ammo for zebra?

[WestKentucky]

No this isn’t entirely a joke. This morning a zebra escaped from an exotic animal sale near my house, and in an area I drive through on my way to work. I carry a charter 38 in the car. No I wouldn’t go “zebra hunting” but assuming it got me cornered on the way to the car... what 38 ammo from a snub would be best for zebra?

From my kids school...

he has been caught now.

I hope y’all enjoy this as much as I have this morning.

Tased and pissed off! (Yes, really)

I would go with a copper solid loaded to +p.

“...and is mad...”



And who thought it was a good idea to tase a zebra?

 

[Meeks36]

You know when I was 13 I was squirrel hunting in the woods behind my house. Heard a twig snap looked down. And boom a friggin zebra. No one believed me of course. But I saw a zebra. Was cool. And I would recommend copper solids. For your 38.

Common wisdom is you at least want a good hard Cast wadcutter for zebra.

 

[JCooperfan1911]

It’s basically a small horse, so a good hotly loaded hard cast like the Buffalo Bore Outdoorsman would be ideal.

It’s basically a small horse. . .

It's at the very least three extremely pissed off horses packed into one stripped horse-shaped sack. And then someone tickled it with a taser.

Doesn't Underwood make a Stripped Pony load in .38Spl?

Someone thought tasing a zebra was going to subdue it?

Under ideal situations, a .38 snub is NOT what I would want for defending against equines of any variety. A good 1 oz rifled slug from a 12 gauge shotgun should end the threat.

A tased disco donkey in Arizona? Sounds like they need a good wrangler not a shooter.
