Jackson Jambalaya

I bet Casper was disappointed.

Feel sorry for the new giraffe. The Jackson Zoo is a postage stamp sized dump compared to the Miami Zoo.

The zoo isn't a dump. It's not as big as some, but it isn't a "dump." You internet badasses need something else to do with your time.

What's the over-under on how long the life span in Jacktown?

Bet Casper is glad he's not at the Copenhagen Zoo. As well as Knox. They shot the giraffe there cause it was "overrepresented."

“The two males seem to be enjoying each other’s company.”

This stuff writes itself.

(Honestly though, I feel bad for them both. I hope they don't get mugged or shot in Jackson.)

The Jackson Zoo is a dump and should be closed.

I wish the Jackson zoo would relocate. I wish there was some big area in North east Jackson, like a closed down golf course, that could be adapted.

"Yay, a giraffe!" said no one.

I'd bet none of the people who posted BS comments have been to the zoo in the last 10 years.

no problem if they want to get together per SCOTUS. or would it be a problem because of the age difference? Stanley Alexander would be on it in a heartbeat: giraffe stat rape.

I guess they have to have sun/moon-roofs on shipping containers, be it plane, train or automobile.

Funny I've never seen one going down the road.

Yes, I have and was aghast that the dump zoo is still open.

Gay giraffes. It happens in nature...

I'll admit it. I haven't been there in at least 10 years. Because I don't want to get my arse shot getting there or leaving.

Here's hoping the giraffe can keep his head low and avoid stray bullets.

The Jackson Zoo is not a dump. They struggle because of lack of funding. The Zoo is heavily guarded and I feel safe going there, if more people visited perhaps they could afford better enclosures for the animals.

I do agree that it would be nice for the giraffes to have a larger space. Not sure why they can't use some other larger enclosure for them but it probably comes down to money.

No matter what, the giraffe is better off in the Jackson Zoo than being killed by poachers in Africa.

The giraffe was never in Africa. The Miami Zoo versus the Jackson Zoo is like moving from Bridgewater or some other fine upscale neighborhood to the heart of Ward 3.

I would think I'd be safe there too. But once you leave, you are in the ghetto. Where you get jacked, watch drug deals go down, duck your head to not get shot at, and try not to run over the meth addicted prostitutes/male trannies.

In other words, I wouldn't risk the life of my kids or grandkids to see a hot animal suffer in the southern heat.
