It's sad that Ecuador lost its only giraffe, but I'm not a big fan of having animals in zoos... RIP Chelito. Why would anyone want to poison a cute giraffe?

It born captive and lived the whole time on a reduced space. I dislike Zoos but I have mixed fillings on it, many memories, When I was a child I used to go there with my grandpa, he said that we couldn´t afford to go to Africa, so the kind Elephant, "Mocosita", was visiting us instead to tell us stories of the oldest continent, "Home" of all species.

I have been in the USA for the last 35 years but my dream is to retire to/in Ecuador. One of my missions (besides starting a bed & breakfast!) is to introduce giraffes and elephants to Ecuador and allow them to BREED and live there in peace. Animals should NEVER be fed by the public. They should ALWAYS have a companion. They need a LOT of space. TOYS to play with. A STREAM OF WATER is very important as well as a few very large, strong trees for rubbing against. They need constant veterinary care to check for fungus and parasites. Keeping animals in HARD WORK and takes dedication and money. If Loja (and Ecuador) is willing to sacrifice some money we can go back to Africa for the two giraffes and go to India for the two elephants. WE CAN DO THIS. Another thing that would help is to CLEAN THE AIR and get rid of the combustion gasoline sucking car engine.
