PS. This was on CNN front page, I posted the previous article in chat, this is a follow up and if it’s front page news at CNN, I hope you’ll leave it in extended news here.

Thanks

Their animals. IDGAF what they do with them.

[A CA Guy]

They couldn’t give the baby to another zoo?

[Da Coyote]

I am as conservative as they come, but that sickened me.

Now, if they had fed Pelosi to the lions...it would have delighted me, but sickened the lions.

See post 57 on the other thread, EinNYC’s post:

“A British zoo offered to take him. People raised $680,000 to buy him. But this crap zoo insisted on killing this poor animal who had grown to trust them, had never known anything but a kind hand from them—so they could publicly dissect him for pseudoscientific reasons and then feed him to lions? This “zoo” should be closed for cruelty to animals.”

There is no reason for a "conservative" not to be sickened by gratuitous waste of life at the hands of government bureaucrats.

[Politicalkiddo]

This was plain sick and stupid. To add insult to injury, they did in front of guests....many of whom were children. Brillant, those Danes.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The genes of that giraffe were already common in the European gene pool.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Perhaps they should have just released the lions into the giraffe pen and let the public see how nature does it.

[workerbee]

The zoo admits they dispose of 20-30 animals a year — nobody complained about the antelopes, wild boar and others. What makes this so different? The media, mainly.

I doubt it’s much different in zoos across the world. The whole thing is a trumped up non-story, as most “human interest” items are.

[MeshugeMikey]

“Brillant, those Danes.”

Very Very “progressive” of them.

[driftdiver]

They shoulda let the lions do the killing.

[PAR35]

The zoo leadership would rather kill it than sell it to another accredited zoo that had a space for it.

PETA FREAKS CAN GO POUND SAND, LIONS HAVE TO EAT AND GIRAPHS ARE FOOD!

[Farmer Dean]

Just proves that living in a socialist country damages your humanity.

[jocon307]

Couldn’t they have sent this giraffe to another zoo?

[dalereed]

“they did in front of guests....many of whom were children.”

A good education in reality!

[JRandomFreeper]

Giraffe should be prepped and cooked like any other antelope.

After an autopsy the giraffe was dismembered in front of an audience that included children and fed to the zoo's lions, tigers and leopards.

Uh...they'd just shot the beastie in the head with a rifle. What did they expect to find in the autopsy, a heart attack? Shingles? Irritable bowel syndrome?
