The park explained: “Giraffes are hunted for their hides and meat, and also - of all things - their tails. The tail is highly prized by many African cultures.
"The desire for good-luck bracelets, fly whisks, and thread for sewing or stringing beads have led people to kill the giraffe for its tail alone.”
