Mother Giraffe Dies at SF Zoo

An eight-year-old mother giraffe, one that recently gave birth in Febuary this year, died at the SF Zoo today. (Giraffes usually live anywhere from 15 and 20 years.) Gezi collapsed today a little after noontime, and succumbed to cardiac and respiratory arrest. If you recall, over four years ago two elephants died at the local zoo, and just last year a tiger named Tatiana was shot and killed after mauling a visitor. What leads us to ask: Is the is zoo deathtrap now? Should they instead make it into a theme park with zany rides? Maybe call it "The Haunted ZOOOOOOOOOOO!"?
