The height of a giraffe ranges from 14 to 17 feet or 4.3 to 5.2 meters. Male giraffes weigh about 2,830 pounds or 1,191 kilograms. Female giraffes are about 800 pounds lighter at 1,830 pounds or 828 kilograms.
the size of a giraffe makes it a powerful against other animals. They can run up to 55 kilometers per hour for short periods. In the savannah, the only animal that can threaten a giraffe is the lion.

...but people think they're cute so you bitch and moan...

It's nothing to do with being 'cute'.
Now think about that in a room on your own for about 10 years.

this is the least of the atrocities that human kind has committed. we humans have a natural gift of fucking shit up & all in all, we have a proven track record that we're natural born killers.

scarabin, i understand your viewpoint.
i agree but not to the fulness, also because of questions raised by monospaced and though his arguments are weaker he has a certain point, but it makes total sense what you say.
i also have pleasure eating bananas, but i could be eating apples.and yes you have a choice and you choose a certain thing that might give you more pleasure.
but killing for sport is still different from killing to eat at a certain point.|'ve killed for both fun and food. next time only for survival. human or not.
- nah it's still the same thing. you kill for food because you find meat more pleasurable than pasta or whatever. there's no grey area there.scarabin
- grey area there.scarabin
- and when i say "kill for food" i'm also referring to buying it somewhere. you caused the death of the animal.scarabin
- not me man! i'm vegetarian.oey

You kill a vegetable / fruit when you pull it from the ground, vine, or tree. Everything that is to be consumed by almost every species on the planet is living in some way before and during consumption. Be it a cow, worm, chimpanzee, or apple; why do only humans seem to have an issue with eating some species but not others? Reason is a very subjective rationale of thought to live by. Preservation is obviously not a human concern, it's an individual one that is not as widespread as others would prefer it be.

- maybe I'm misunderstanding, but are they eating these giraffes?fourth
- in that article no, but I've read that there are trophy hunts that sometimes feed villagersalbums
- the meat is valuable as is the skin and anything else the "hunter" doesn't want as his "trophy"albums
- i'm referring to the folks in this thread, not people who ACTUALLY have to consume animals to survive.scarabin
- again, i'm not saying eating animals or whatever is wrong, i'm saying it's the same as the giraffe killing people here are condemningscarabin

You guys fail to understand that if these giraffes were to develop shotguns and rifles of their own we humans would be the hunted ones.

I know you're trolling albums, but..
Giraffes and other large mammals tend to be higher up the food chain than insects and fruit & vegetables. They don't just crawl into a ditch and squirt a millions of eggs onto the breeze (not suggesting this is your preferred courtship method, but I wouldn't be surprised). They live longer and have fewer young - spending relatively long periods of time ensuring their offspring have the best chances of survival. It works until it's interfered with.
They've got evolution, rather than numbers, on their side. A fact most people understand, which is why most people find it depressing when they're needlessly shot by idiots.
- That was my point about reason. Nature does just fine without it. Populations balance without intervention.albums
- Also, no matter where you are on the food chain, you can get eaten, humans included. Hence the term "food" chain.albums
- It's the subjective reasoning of humans existing on several levels that allow such hunts to take place.albums
