Allan said that the giraffe's death could have been avoided.

[fwdude]

Okay, this was just incompetent. And an animal died needlessly because of this incompetence. There needs to be consequences.

Guess Hangover 3 hasn’t gotten to Africa yet.

That kind of roadkill will feed a family of six for months.

“We believe the method in which the animal was transported was not correct.”

Gee, ya think?

[smokingfrog]

How do you say “duck!” in giraffe?

[DannyTN]

They didn’t see that coming.

Very sad indeed.One of the most moving moments of my life was having seen giraffes (in the wild) in Tanzania a number of years ago.”Majestic” doesn't even begin to explain their presence in the distance.I'm approaching the twilight of my life but one last trip to East Africa is on my bucket list.

Apparently South Africa actually has regulations on how Giraffes are supposed to be transported. The have to be upright, and the heads are to be covered by a special crate like container.

[Alex Murphy]

And that's why God made it rain for forty days and forty nights - to avoid hurting the giraffes.

This happened to a football fan in Kansas a few years ago.

The truck also reportedly broke down after the giraffe hit its head and it was unable to receive any treatment.

Would someone please beat the reporter’s head against a bridge?
