Was it a healthy giraffe?  if it was healthy then them killing it was a disgrace.

Yes, it was simply for the fact of inbreeding........so the fellah from the zoo said on the radio this morning. Then he likened it to us killing cows and lambs and pigs

When I heard this I was really sad, I love giraffes... but having read that I'm thinking, is it really that different to us killing animals for the meat industry? I mean, they're all perfectly healthy too

That is disgusting, and a very arrogant attitude from the zoo bloke.

It's a real shame that they would not take up the offers and let the giraffe live on somewhere else.

 

It does raise one of those debates about zoo's in general and whether we should have them at all.

 

I do realise some would argue good work is being done through breeding programmes and research into better protecting animals but I can't say I have visited a zoo since I was a nipper.
