But on Saturday, the animal was seen running along a highway. It then escaped into a wooded area, the sheriff&#8217;s office said.<\/p>\n<p>The Ford family originally named the zebra Zeke, but as the public weighed in during the search, they decided to use the name Ed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Through viral posts, news coverage, and thousands of messages, he became known as Ed the Zebra. And now, he will be forever known as Ed \u2014 a symbol of joy, laughter, and unity,&#8221; the Fords said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While Ed has caused some excitement online, some are critical of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The zebra escape in Tennessee is an unfortunate and completely avoidable incident,&#8221; said Angela Grimes, the CEO of Born Free USA, an animal advocacy nonprofit. &#8220;Zebras are wild animals. They do not belong in back yards, kept as pets, or put on display for human entertainment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Grimes warned the escape could cause &#8220;a state of severe stress for the zebra, which may result in increased harm to those who come in contact, including officials charged with trying to contain the zebra.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The sheriff&#8217;s office said it has requested help from a veterinarian in any attempt to capture the animal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__meta--contributors\">\n<p>                      <span class=\"byline__author__text\">Nicole  Valdes<\/span><\/p>\n<p>        contributed to this report.\n    <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n        <\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/nicole-chau\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Nicole  Brown Chau<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Nicole Brown Chau is a deputy managing editor for CBSNews.com.
