Now I wonder what giraffe meat tastes like. Couldn't be too bad.

I think giraffes have a place in the charismatic megafauna. I read the zoo's FAQ on it through the link. Contraceptives would "apply a poorer animal welfare"...so they went with the shotgun.

Sure, this sucks for the giraffe, but I don't see anyone considering what a "frick yeah!" moment this must have been for the lions.

Did they chop it up in front of the kids? Bc that's what y'all make it seem like. If so, fricked up.
If they just gave him meat in front of them then no big deal.
"Someone wanted to buy it!" Tell them to buy another one that doesn't need to be culled.

I thought it was pretty shitty considering someone was willing to pay over $600,000 to take the animal in.

Had the balls not to give the animal to zoos that volunteered to care for it?
Yeah, pretty ballsy there.
Do you guys not have 30 seconds to read the article which explains why he didn't give it to another zoo or individual.

I just asked my kids this and they said that it would been better if they had let the lions kill it then eat.

Why no outcry for whatever other animals are slaughtered to feed the lions? I'm sure those lions consume tons of meat each year at that zoo, but I guess a few hundred cattle < one pretty giraffe in the goofy animal rights world.
This killing was done to benifit the existing giraffe population AND feed other animals AND educate children.

Because ignorant people don't want to know how the steak gets on their plate.

It states this pretty clearly in the article.

So a zoo, which owns and breeds these animals, decides that it is in their own best interest to slaughter this giraffe and use it to feed other zoo animals rather than spend money to raise and feed a giraffe that would have to live sterile and in no way make the zoo any money. They get blasted for making this decision? Just because its a pretty/cute giraffe? Cows are slaughtered daily for food. They feed snakes live mice and rats but thats all ok because its not a cute giraffe
This being a huge story just shows how people have their priorities all fricked up

Huge double standard here. What if we went and killed an Alabama kid so he couldn't inbreed?

Well, genocide is worse than murder...

Just make sure the kid is a Bama fan first.

It makes you think, maybe the Predator really wasn't such a bad guy. Maybe he was just misunderstood.
