And they couldn't find a zoo that would take him, or it seems they didn't even try.

It’s a metaphor for modern society.

From the article: ‘”It is not possible to transfer the giraffe to another zoo as it will cause inbreeding,” it said.’

It struck me as kind of sad, actually, to visit the San Diego zoo and see a lion licking hamberger off a rock in its cage. What would be interesting is if they allowed lions to actually hunt down live game in a large pen while the audience (yes, children included) could watch.

If inbreeding was a concern, why didn’t they just turn him into a gelding?

Lions eat giraffe’s, don’t they? What do they normally feed their lions, cows? Either one was probably fine with the lion.

On average, he said some 20 to 30 animals, including goats, antelopes and wild boar, were culled for the same reason every year at the zoo.

Tuna-safe dolphin nets, anyone?

Seriously, though, I question the public dismemberment. That seems a little over the top, even if it was for "educational" purposes.

Put the lions and giraffe in the same area, many acres so they have room to run, and let nature take its course. These people have no sense of showmanship educating urbanites to reality.

Agree. Seems like a Hell of a way to deal with a surplus giraffe.

It’s likely that with certain animals, there isn’t a lot of varied DNA, in zoos world wide.

He thought they were friends till dinner time came.

As a rule of thumb, if your going to eat it, don't name it.

I would love to try giraffe. I bet they have the ultimate back strap.

Seems they could have raised money for the zoo by having it butchered and selling the meat. Some exotic game meats go for a lot.

Why didn’t they just put it in the lion cage before killing it and let the lions do what come natural?

Sounds like a warning to the Danish population. If they find you superfluous, they will kill you.
