She Banned Her Creepy New Neighbors From Her Property After They Said They Wanted To Taxidermy Her Pet Zebra
This 28-year-old woman and her wife, who is 32, currently own a small horse ranch. So, they have a variety of animals, including horses, mules, hinnies, and donkeys.
They also have one exotic pet, a zebra named Hartie, and he’s the only zebra they own right now. And since she and her wife live in a pretty small town, Hartie has become a community favorite.
However, a new couple recently moved in near their ranch and are expecting a baby. That’s why she and her wife tried to get to know a bit more about them.
“The husband, Mack, loves to hunt, and he has hunted exotic animals before with his friends, and his wife, Leela, is a taxidermist,” she explained.
That’s why Mack and Leela have a lot of taxidermied animals, and upon finding out about her pet zebra, Hartie, they were very intrigued and had a ton of questions.
Now, she claimed that she did answer all of their questions since she didn’t think anything was “off” or weird. After all, most people are fascinated by her zebra and tend to have a lot of questions.
However, when she and her wife decided to host a dinner party and invite the new couple to attend, everything went sideways.
For some context, she and her wife’s friends and family members were at the dinner, along with Mack and Leela. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, too, until one of her good friends approached her and her wife.
Apparently, her friend had overheard Mack talking about how he had been “watching” her zebra Hartie.

“And he wants to buy Hartie and gift him to his wife Leela so she can make him into a taxidermy,” she revealed.
At that point, both she and her wife were taken aback and decided to confront Mack about what their friend had heard. But, to their surprise, Mack didn’t even deny saying that.
This pushed her and her wife to kick both Mack and Leela off of their property. They also banned the couple from ever getting near their ranch or animals again.
“We were creeped out by their behavior,” she admitted.
Since then, neither of them has dared step foot near her, her wife, or her animals. Still, Mack and Leela do stare and wave at her and her wife whenever they are outside in front of their home.
She still believes that the couple is acting really creepy, too. However, some of her friends have now claimed that Mack and Leela were just kidding around and realized it after getting to know them better.
“It got my wife and I questioning now if they were joking. But I have a feeling they were not,” she vented.
Still, she now can’t stop wondering if banning her new neighbors from her property after they said they wanted to taxidermy her pet zebra was really the wrong thing to do.
Would you have also been creeped out if you were in her shoes? Was banning the new couple from her property justified or overboard? How would you have handled this situation?
