wait wait wait
you wanted them to put the giraffe in the wild, with the lions that will eat it, instead of killing it?
Am I missing something here?
Either it dies here or it dies there. Keep in mind the latter costs a lot more.

but then over in the wild could fend for itself and maybe even find a nice giraffe herd and a hot giraffe girlfriend

so what exactly is the problem here

[Bisjac]

i dont see anything wrong with everything they did...

killing the giraffe seemed logical. they dont want inbreeding. even in a zoo, not every born animal was intended. they gotta keep proper stock.

and there is even less wrong with feeding the body to the lions. and nothing wrong with letting people watch.
its a zoo, animals are wild. especially entitled 1st world children, should see real animals acting like real animals.

you seem to be angry but haven't suggested a different solution

Well it is displeasing, but its not like I could do anything or suggest anything to be done.  Idk, sue the zoo and lose?  Kill the lions for eating its body?

Lol joking.

Outcry over a giraffe being killed and fed to lions : Thousands upon thousands upon thousands of cows, pigs, chickens, etc. killed daily for our consumption.

Nope, don't see the rationality.

Giraffe doesn't taste as good, so we try and keep them around for fun.

Meat animals are harvested for productive reasons and raised specifically over the purpose.

The giraffe was killed just cause the zoo didn't want it.  It's like having a dog that you don't want so you kill it and feed it to wild animals instead of taking it to a shelter.

[Blockzillahead]

and? lions need food, and that food happened to be a giraffe.

what are you supposed to feed a lion, tofu?

beef
which they can buy and is much more convenient than a whole big ass giraffe to feed to a bunch of lions

This. Feeding a giraffe actually makes them lose more money, less people come to see the giraffes (because they are dead) and they have to buy new ones which cost money, money they could of used to buy beef and gain more money.

They had to kill a giraffe so they fed the carcass to lions.

Would you have rathered they thrown it out?
