Not all zoos are like the infamous Copenhagen Zoo.
The Topeka Zoo has an aging giraffe. Clearly he is not on display any more. He is a lot of work to look after, but they are doing the best they can for him. He has been their proud herd leader for years and they feel he deserves the best they can give him now that the end is near.

They even have a younger male to replace him, but they are not letting that influence how they care for Jesse. They know he only has a short time left, but they are doing the best they can with that time.
