title: How do I stop/pause/disable an animated gif on react native?
body: <p>React native added support for animated GIFs in <a href="https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/24" rel="nofollow">this ticket</a>.  This is great.  However, there are times when I do not actually want to animate the gif.</p>
  
  <p>If there a way to turn off the gif animations in a React Native Image view?</p>
