Mysteron Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I think there was a Tim Vine joke where he got asked, does he like giraffes? And he said no, he prefers chess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock4eva Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 To me it seems that Axl had jumped to the same thoughts as everybody else about the giraffe. And how it was wrong. And then he done a little more research into it. And saw how both sides had good points. But that the zoo didn't really come across with their points,so that the public understood their views on it. And seems Axl doesn't agree with them allowing the public to view the actual kill and feeding of Marius to the lions.My take on the whole situation. Would have been to sterilize Marius,sell him to one of the zoos offering to buy him. Use the money they would've gotten from the sale and funded the program further. Win win for everyone. Marius would have lived and still served an educational purpose at another zoo.And the zoo that killed him. Still would have the free space for other giraffes that would be fit for the breeding program.Although,I wish that Axl would quit being or trying to sound or come across,as so damn philosophical and just use plain damn English! LOLWhy sterilise Marius??? There was no need to, he could have been bred in a different zoo somewhere else in the country or the world. Animals are transferred to other zoos to stop interbreeding, this was no different. There was nothing wrong with him, they just couldn't breed him in that particular zoo as he was related to the other giraffes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysteron Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 In recent days, British princes, Charles and William speak about against illegal ivory poaching. William says he is going to destroy all ivory doo daa in Buckingham Palace. Yet, they both hunt foxes and hunt abroad.End of the day, ignore rich people and animal opinions. It means nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream of the Butterfly Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I thought it was pretty clear Axl was criticizing the zoo's decision. Surprised to see some people managed to interpret it as if he was agreeing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised to see some people managed to interpret it as if he was agreeing with it.I quite agree! I like and admire speaking out and taking a stand against injustices. The tweets garnered a lot of attention and drew the focus to the Giraffe's plight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetRose Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 rock4eva I read somewhere that the zoo that had Marius was not wanting for him to be bred in other zoos. Due to they wanted that breed of giraffes within a controlled group. So in other words,they didn't want a different breed of giraffes mixing with whatever breed Marius was. They are trying to increase his breeds population. And the way that I took all of this was ,the zoo that had him,didn't trust an outside zoo to not breed him. Even if another zoo said they wouldn't breed him. So instead they killed him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange concept, won't they be overpopulated with giraffes if they don't send them to other zoos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Maybe the giraffe was in bred by accident so they wanted to kill it quickly. Find it hard to believe that only one zoo in the world had this breed of giraffe.Or it was to expensive to ship abroad after a poor profiting winter for the zoo.
