Gerald The Giraffe? Oh for Pete’s sake... " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins. When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

One sensible decision came out of all of this-not to put the giraffe down due to the fatal stupidity of the pic guy. | |||

Thank God for that! Yes it is sad that it happened and I send condolences to his family and friends, but just like Steve Irwin, animals wild or domestic simply cannot be taken for granted! Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

I feel bad for the deceased and his family. It sounds an awful lot like the giraffe was in fight mode. Read the description of the equipment. Could be some confusion there. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. | |||

From experience, Non-Animal people really do not understand how dangerous animals can be. They are not stupid, just uninformed. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

Was there a person from the game preserve there? Someone to say "you're getting too close and pissing it off?" | |||

It's like the people who try to ride the wild buffalo Yellowstone or hug the bears . People get more stupid every day .They watch animals on cartoons and movies and think That's the way animals act .I use to tell bunny huggers in Alaska to pick up the baby Moose and baby bears that the mommas would love them for doing that . I told them The porcupines were as sweet as the ones on cartoons too . I also told them moose were just like on cartoons goofy and friendly . People have become idiots from watching cartoons and movies .Nature is kill or be killed Not the gay Walt Disney crap they feed to these people .That's exactly why they hate Hunting they think all these animals are sweet bad friendly .In reality the Animals will stomp you ,bite you and kill and eat you ! | |||

I think the camera swinging on a boom probably incited the giraffe to swing it's head. In it's mind, something challenging him. But bad result for the movie maker. | |||

Why can’t I run into a one of them whiteys or bulls while huntin? " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins.

My thoughts. Giraffes fight for dominance same as other animals. Probably figured he was decking another male.  Watched a video of a couple of giraffes fighting recently, brutal stuff .Grizz Indeed, no human being has yet lived under conditions which, considering the prevailing climates of the past, can be regarded as normal.

Taming orphaned game when they are still babies is a popular activity on many a game ranch and it never but never ends well, not for the animal and sometimes not for the people who tame them ! Have done it on occasion and it's a recipe for disaster! How many owners of tame lion, buffalo, wildebeest, warthog, giraffe, duiker have been killed by their "tame" whatever ! I personally know 3 people I can think of off hand that have been killed by "tame game" and its often not the dangerous ones like lion or leopard that do it. I have had tame wild animals as a kid and they all eventually had to be put down. The most innocuous of all a duiker ram who had to have short pieces of hosepipe placed over his horns because he had a nasty habit of sneaking up behind you and then butting you with his spiked horns. | |||

And it does not matter if it is in Africa or North America. I hand raised an American Buffalo anmd while he never really got rank woith me, hev would with others and I never really trusted after he got about two years old. I worked with him about 10 years, even had him castrated at 6 months old. I halter broke him, could tie him up to the fence and pick up and clean all of his hooves and actually hold him by the lead rope and let people pet him, but I knew that at Point B he was not going to be handleable and when he turned 3 years old, he would still come up to the fence and let me pet him, but I would not go in the yard with that big bastard. I do not know if he would have tried to attack me, but I was not going to give him the option. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

Anyone who has watched film footage of male giraffe combat, largely carried out by swinging their heads like wrecking balls, will appreciate the latent power they possess. A very unfortunate incident. | |||

It's like that idiot Timothy Treadwell in Alaska .Friends of mine meet him and Said Let's bet on how long it takes the bears to eat him .Treadwell did good with the park bears Then got him and his girlfriend both eaten with the truly wild hungry bears .In my Zoology class in the good old days my professors always said if you want to die young Just piss off a wild animal bigger than you and the kill instinct comes out. I went yerkeys primate center a bunch of times doing research and they had tons of attacks on caretakers . There always had a large turnover in those jobs .The cute little chimps turned into monsters with 4 inch fangs that would bite your face off given the chance .I.heard troops of baboons were the worse attacking people when you shot one .The funniest is the dangerous little bushbuck that has attacked so many people . We will see tons more attacks as the viewing safari increases and one day they will say I see why they use To shoot animals that attack ! | |||
