I’ve long had an affinity for Denmark, even taking 3 years of Danish in college and visiting 3 times. And Palo Alto hosts a local diplomatic outpost – the Denmark Center for Innovation on Page Mill Road. So I’ve always had a positive feeling when it came land of Hamlet. Until now.
I was astounded and saddened to see the video of a beautiful, healthy giraffe killed by the Copenhagen Zoo this week. Autopsied, chopped up for food for other carnivores at the zoo, in plain site of the public including children. I still don’t understand the reasons proffered – to preclude inbreeding – couldn’t have an alternate plan.
Not nice.
