Danes have defended the killing of a healthy giraffe at Copenhagen zoo that triggered outrage after it was skinned and fed to lions in front of visitors.
Zoo staff received death threats after the killing on Sunday of the 18-month-old animal, named Marius, which shocked animal lovers around the world.
Thousands signed an online petition to save him, with a billionaire even offering to buy him and keep him in her Beverly Hills garden.
But in Denmark, a nation with many farms, an overwhelming majority of social media users felt the global outcry
was a sign of hypocrisy and political correctness.
