Stating a feeling that one has about a specific event that happened to one animal does not discount other situations.....they are ALL wrong. You are agreeing with me, but for whatever reason saying that I don't care about the death or abuse of other animals or children. I care about all living things. Don't minimize this barbaric act of this one animal just because it happens often to other animals.

I believe I am trying to say just the opposite. I have so far seen many people express their heartfelt emotions for this poor animal. As yet, only one other person has expressed similar emotions for the exact same act that is repeated over and over again every single day. Everyone who has responded is a kind and intelligent person who has a love of animals. Perhaps we can all use the death of this giraffe to be more vocal about animal cruelty. Will you or anyone else change their eating habits due to the inherent cruelty of factory farming or do we accept that this is what's needed to feed so many people in the world. Will everyone who gets a dog do so only from a shelter or rescue organization, recognizing that when you buy from a pet store or a breeder, another dog is being euthanized in a kill shelter because there is no room. I also wonder that if this story was about a wart hog would it have garnered the same response. I am not minimizing this barbaric act.....I am trying to point out that this act has been repeated 4000 times in the last hour and we should address our outrage in that direction.
