And that's your opinion. Others, like me feel it is exceedingly morbid and extremely unfeeling to the people who are mourning the loss of this animal.

Would you eat your pet when it dies? It's not the same thing. I've raised animals for slaughter before and it's not the same way I think of my pets.
*Just to add: a farmer also has hundreds of animals to look after, they don't develop the type of relationships I would imagine zoo keepers put in with all of the training and specialized 1 on 1 attention they get. Plus that has got to be a violation of alot of USDA rules and the endangered species act.

Because the people who care for the giraffes are probably the same people who care for the lions and that's a really fucked up thing to think they would make them do.

I ate the cows I raised too. All I'm saying is it's a different mentality, that's all.
