Zecora sighed. "If the answers could be found in the past, I doubt we'd have found them so fast."
Twilight shook her head. "No no, you see, when ponies and zebras first met, zebras actually would eat ponies!" She showed Zecora an elaborately drawn picture of a pony in an explorer's outfit being devoured by a tribal zebra. "There were a few... skirmishes over this, but it was eventually discovered that zebras were tribal at the time, and many of the tribes had developed differently. The zebras that devoured ponies actually NEEDED meat to survive."
Zecora raised an eyebrow. "But we are not like that now, few true tribes remain and none on ponies chow."
Twilight nodded. "About fifty or so years after the ponies and zebra tribes met, a few of the tribes banded together and conquered most of the other tribes, setting up a central government. Though your people are still nomadic, they are one people. However, among the co-alligned tribes were two of the carnivorous tribes. Zecora, I'd wager you're descended from one of them."
Zecora nodded. "That is an interesting fact, but this does not help me counterract."
"Well that's just it, you don't have to."
Zecora gave Twilight an odd look and she continued.
"See, after the tribes set up a central government they allied themselves with Equestria. Due to the uh... needs of some of their leaders, a new law was made in Equestria. Any Zebra descended from one of the tribes falls under it. It allows zebras to devour ponies."
Zecora blinked in surprise. She was not aware of any such law. "This seems an unusual decree, is there any limits to see?"
