I imagine the mother forgot to tell the giraffe she has a PhD.
Perhaps they can put up some Trample Free Zone signs...

Pit Bulls are the cutest!! Smart and fun loving too.
Gotta wonder what set the giraffe off though. Had to be something. Maybe someone looked like another person that had abused the poor thing.

It SHOULD hurt to be stupid!
Don't go into 'nature' to annoy wild animals. The Australian guy killed by the stingray learned that the hard way.
The way I figure it, my ancestors worked hard to get OUT of wild animal territory and if God meant me to still be there I would have been born in Kenya. Stay in civilization! Knowing how wild animals sleep or defecate isn't worth your life.

I guess the Giraffe was made because Geoffery (the Toys R Us symbol) is out of a job...so he attacked Americans...😀
Prayers to the family, hope they'll recover.

They mist be naive eco-loons. The father was coming “back from a run”? It seems pretty loony to run for exercise in the African bush. I wonder if there just might be some dangerous animals roaming around?

People these days have a tendency to forget that wild animals are... well... wild.
To: simpson96
He said the couple understand nature after living and working for years in the African bush and that the incident could only be explained as "an act of nature."Of course, she was a scientist so stupidity was ruled right out.

I am going to guess that the little boy was excited to see the baby giraffe and went running towards it. The boy’s mother (knowing the danger) ran after him which alarmed the mother giraffe triggering that attack. Do I have any evidence? No.
