Still a bit ‘meh’ about it, spectacle or not. The giraffe could never be allowed to breed, so what happens in a few years when you want to keep it with a female or want to replace it with one than can? Put it down then when no one is watching?
I think it’s a valuable lesson/issue that more people should be aware of, bucketed in with things like where does your meat come from and what happens to ill animals etc Too many folk are all too happy to gloss over the ‘unpleasant’ realities of it all.
