I saw today that one of the giraffes at the zoo at home died! She was only five years old; she suffered a neck injury on her way here (I won't post the city I'm from) from out of state.
 That makes me so sad! I love giraffes. At least she's not suffering anymore, but I wish they could have saved her.

 indeed, I find all animals to be beautiful in their own unique ways (yes, even the "sea pig" which looks kinda like a water balloon) unfortunately the neck is very important to the giraffe and I don't think the vet's would have the technology to treat such a large neck depending on the injury (it's not like you can build a giant neck brace as it does need some flexibility for daily life) like you said before, she is no longer in pain and that in itself is a wonderful thing |

Thanks, Kaika. Yes, there was no way to save the poor giraffe.
 I'd like to give a donation to the zoo in her memory.
