Zoo provides palliative care for girafe

[Catherine]

I know they have a vet on staff who is evaluating his condition and they are working on keeping him comfortable. If they can't do that they will consider euthanizing him as an act of mercy.

He is not on display or being used for breeding.(They already have a young male) They are working with him to give him the best care and any decisions made will be in his best interests. It is never an easy decision to end an animal's life, but they will do what is best because the do care about Jesse.
