Trizer Mwakinya, head of communications at the Kenya Wildlife Service, said Monday that workers from the Kenya Power and Lighting Company “were on site” to rectify the problem.
But conservationist Paula Kahumbu in tweets addressed to the power company and the wildlife agency said the power lines have been killing giraffes, vultures and flamingos.
Close to 1,400 Rothschild’s giraffes remain in the wild in the world and according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature the species is not considered endangered anymore but is now in the near-threatened category.

I tell the grandkids all the time, don’t stick your neck out.

Low lying power lines.

Make shorter giraffes.

If they’re touching one wire each they musta been doin’ it to form a circuit.
I want one the Russian Ohligarcs have, you know, the mini model.
Never have eaten giraffe, prolly tastes like chicken.
“If they’re touching one wire each they musta been doin’ it to form a circuit.”
I suggest you stay away from anything over 1.5 volts.

Dem folks dat eet giraffe prolly wud say not.
You’d think the second one would see what happened.
But I suspect they were girl giraffes.
So they were talking endlessly and didn’t notice.

Is there a Darwin Award for giraffes?
These weren’t Florida giraffes were they?
They should hire ERCOT from Texas as consultants. They have extensive experience ensuring there is no electricity flowing through the power lines.
Opulence, I has it.
:D
I find this very sad. Giraffes are beautiful animals and are on the endangered species list. I visited the San Diego Zoo decades ago, and the Giraffes there were very friendly. One pulled down a branch she was nibbling so I could have a bite. Petted her on the nose—just briefly, I know they can bite.
