Quantcast Vegetarian StarTweet the Giraffe From “The Zookeeper” Dies Days After Filming

Lions On Show Ahead Of London Zoos Late Night Event

A giraffe that took part in filming the comedy The Zookeeper has died just days after wrapping up its final shoot.

Tweet, an 18-year old male giraffe that had also been on the sets of Ace Ventura, Evan Almighty, and Toys R Us ads, collapsed while being fed in his pen last week.

Giraffes can live well into their late 20s.

“It’s an outrage,” said Lisa Wathne, a spokeswoman for PETA. “I don’t think anyone should be surprised.”

PETA had sent a letter to several stars of the film, urging the show to use animation and special effects versus bringing in animals from a supply company, Birds and Animals Unlimited, that had known USDA violations.

This comedy doesn’t have a happy ending at all.
