Maybe it's just because I'm from the desolate tundra known as Montana, but most people here didn't get what the giraffe fuss was all about. But then, most of us grew up rural, which meant butchering pigs, killing chickens, and hunting from a young age. We start shooting gophers and rabbits by 6 or 7, and taking your first deer is a right of passage. I remember my brother being ashamed to show his face at school, because he didn't get a deer his first season, even though the rest of his class did. But America is a big place, (Montana alone is more than 10 times the size of Denmark), and when I went to college out of state, I met people who declared hunting immoral, on the grounds that meat could be bought at the supermarket.
