I didn't watch the video, but I read the article. How disgusting! The animals aren't in the zoo -- they're the animals RUNNING the zoo. They should be deemed "surplus" and then shot, skinned and fed to the lions.

I thought the Danes were supposed to be Humanitarians

Seriously do some research first.

I don't understand why they didn't sell or donate the animal. I read (quickly) the article and it did not say there was any kind of genetic defect or temperament / disposition problem.
However, it is perfectly natural for animals to be sacrificed for the purposes of nourishment to feed others.... I am glad they didn't turn the poor giraffe loose in the lion enclosure to be slaughtered....
Even so, if it were up to me I would not have killed the animal. I don't even kill insects.

It's one thing to kill an animal in front of children and then throw it to lions. It's another thing to not do in front of children.
What do you think happens in the wild? Are you going to be mad at the lions who kill a zebra?
-
Other zoos offered to take the animal, but instead they chose to cut it to pieces.
Why don't they do this to muslim rapists and terrorists?

Exotic animals under a zoo's care are expected to be cared for, not butchered. A wild giraffe or zebra has the option to fight or run away from predators. They can bite/kick/ram into, or otherwise injure a predator. They also have the free space to be able to make an attempt to flee.
In a captive environment they don't have that option. It's not fair and the odds are 100% against them if humans have them captive and kill them.
At least if this was meat from a slaughterhouse it would be from animals that were intended for consumption. An exotic animal like a giraffe is an animal that the public should reasonably expect should be maintained for its natural life (as long as it's not suffering with a painful disease or incurable injury).
