Copenhagen Zoo kill Giraffe


Have you guys across the pond heard about this?
It seems pretty indefensible to me.

It seems there were many offers to take him from wildlife parks around Europe, but they still chose to kill him AND perform an autopsy in front of an audience including children. I don't get it.

Honestly, Soob, I saw the headline and the pic a day or so ago (with the baby giraffe lying on the ground in front of an audience) and could NOT bring myself to read the story.

I feel nauseous.

Very callous and lame justification. I thought people who worked with animals would have more respect for them.

The whole thing perplexes and angers me. I especially don't understand how so many parents opted to allow their children to witness the killing and the butchering.

Re: Copenhagen Zoo kill Giraffe


It's good to find people who feel the same way as I do about this pretty horrific act. I've been surfing around the various forums and most of them, including AW, are in favour of it! I can't understand that at all.

There's a pretty neat site that's dedicated a children's story about a giraffe to Marius. I thought it was quite cool.
