Why were the vet and the electrician booked together?

Two notices from Bracken Vale in the same week. The giraffe house closes for the vet, then the power goes off behind it that evening.

I know what everyone will say about maintenance happening in a park. I'm asking why the medical visit and the electrical work were booked for the same day. It's a convenient time to do repairs to something the public is supposed to think is alive.

Or a convenient time to do two jobs while the building isn't open to visitors.

Because there were two jobs.

The power notice says the service yard. It doesn't say they're disconnecting the giraffe.

It doesn't say what the power is for at all.

I read this three times before noticing the notices are from two years ago.

the centre of gravity is the part nobody answers

I have read the gravity section on Expose Giraffes twice and the replies I find keep arguing about whether people have seen one. That is not what the section is asking.

They are saying the animal is built the wrong way for the surface it stands on. A picture of it standing there does not explain how it stays there.

If we were to entertain the potentiality of the modern Flat Earth consensus, the question arises as to whether the center of gravity of a giraffe in nature would warrant a threat to its survival by natural selection through the expected pull off the surface as a result of its collective weight distribution and gravitational drag off of its surface.

People answer this with pictures of horses as though a horse has the same amount of neck above it.

You need to include the legs too. That is where most of the height comes from.

Yes. The whole thing. I am not just comparing necks.

The original page never says which direction the pull is supposed to be. It would help to draw it.

Off the surface. It says that in the paragraph.

That can mean over the edge or straight up. Those are different questions.

I copied the whole paragraph. I am asking about the direction.

If it has to spread its legs to get water, I do not see why we assume it has no balance problem when it is standing.

Because bending down changes where its weight is.

Their problem is using gravity to explain it. The ground does not need to pull anything for an object to stay on it.

Was there an image on the old page showing where they put the weight? I remember something beside this and cannot find the same copy.

If the earth is not flat, the flat-earth part of this is not a problem a giraffe has to solve.

The site is presenting an argument using the video. We can argue with the argument without pretending the clip has vanished.

A small animal is easy to overlook. With a giraffe you have to accept a conspicuous amount of animal. That is the purpose being alleged: the scale is part of the persuasion.

That would make the rights campaign useful even to somebody who did not care about the animal. It supplies a thing the opponent can be seen attacking.
