In South Africa people can buy evrything.
The country-side shown in this picture belongs to a neighbour of
huge private-owned reserve.
The owner intended to build up a
wildlife - farm, just for his own family and guests.
One early morning in 2005 he had got 3 giraffs by a special truck.
In the early evening he had been informed by his staff,
the 3 animals have jumped over the 3 - m - high fence,
without damage.
What had happened the next 2 days I show you
on the pics. The fence had been layed down on hundreds of meters.
They never got them back, luckyly 2 of them enjoy their lifes.
The 3rd had been killed because of injuries he had got by falling over a small fence while running away from the heli....
Also sinngemäss:: Man kann in SA bekanntlich für Geld alles kaufen. Ein reicher Manager wollte eine private Wildtier Ranch aufbauen. Nur für sich und seine Freunde.
Wie hier, wechselten -ohne den 3m hohen Zaun zu beschädigen, gerade neu angeschaffte Giraffen zum Nachbargrundstück. Ihr neuer 'Herr' liess sie per Heli zurück treiben, was aber trotz eines wieder über 100e meter niedergerissenen Zaunes nicht funktionierte.
2 erfreuen sich des Lebens in der Natur, eine junge Giraffe musste wegen der Verletzungen (bei der Flucht vor dem Heli über einen flachen Zaun gestolpert) eingeschläfert werden.
