    I've seen a dead giraffe before. Very dangerous. Turns out they contain high levels of arsenic.

    As for the zoo protest, I would rather see the reduction in congenital defects cause by inbreeding, such as is found in some zoos and in "pedigree" or "thoroughbred" pets, than see it continue, which causes animals to live with pain, suffering and shorter, unhealthy lives.

    As an aside, for all those who are signing up, I hope you are also campaigning hard about rhinos. In the next decade they could be extinct in the wild.
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    hachette what's the difference between putting down an animal for genuine conservation reasons and being careless enough to let a fox get at your chickens? Would you feel guilty if you let a fox kill your chickens? Would you get more chickens...and would you eat their eggs?

    This thread is disappointing as I thought Marius 2 was a space probe.

    So what if a giraffe is not a pet?! If it's a healthy animal, it doesn't deserve for that to happen. Very cruel and if some of you can't see that, then I feel sorry for you!
    Just remember that tomorrow when you're tucking into that sunday lunch

    As a matter of fact I am a supporter of WWF and have adopted a Rhino.
