I think some of you need to wind the hysteria in a bit. It is an animal which has led a charmed life compared to any of its wild ancestors and has suffered a fate no worse than any other giraffe that ever lived.

I understand what you are saying Chris, and I get it that in the wild he would have lived a different live, but he was in the zoo run by caring/animal lovers he was in the care of human beings "you know humans with common sense and feelings that were meant to love and care for him as it was their job". What did not sit right with me about this killing is was not needed as homes had been found.
What I found also disgusting was then they used the animal as a sideshow to promote their cruelty in my view by killing it in public view then feeding him to the Lions truly shocking especially as children witnessed this cruelty ... and if people are truly buying this gene pull theory then why let him live for 2 years why not put him down at birth by injection but NO they waited till he was 2 to shoot him because if they put him down by injection his meat was classed as useless therefore could not be fed to lions. I am truly and honestly disgusted by this jumped up little man who is on tv defending his decision and stating to the world he does not know what all the fuss is about.
I know something I would make less fuss if he was shot then fed to lions, very cruel little man who should look up animal welfare and care .... he really should lose his job
