This Giraffe did not have to die, should not have died. The circus is guilty of this precious giraffes death. Circuses of the present should not be like the exploitive Circuses of the past. In the 21st century, mankind should know by now how to care for animals. I will never attend a circus because of their EXPLOITIVE behavior towards animals.

Good grief....has anyone bothered to check the circus to see if any of the other animals are being abused! Giraffe’s are highly sensitive creatures!

It's probably hard as nails and of questionable personal hygiene. I'd be running like a girl also. The Giraffe was from the circus. It’s probably hard as nails and of questionable personal hygiene.

I'm heartbroken at the loss of one of God's most beautiful, gentle and majestic of all creatures. Please, we do not need to see these wonderful animals in circus' and zoos. Video is adequate a photo safari a dream come true and a boon to the African economy. How selfish can we be? Why must animals be tortured, lonely, scared and sad just to satisfy a momentary curiosity of those higher up on the food chain? I no longer go to these venues nor do my children and grandchildren.. May God please watch over His creation and protect it from the likes of us. So sad. I’m heartbroken at the loss of one of God’s most beautiful, gentle and majestic of all creatures.
