There are only five well-documented fatal lightning strikes on giraffes between 1996 and 2010. But due to the population of the species being just 140,000 during this time, it makes for about 0.003 lightning deaths per thousand giraffes each year. This is 30 times the equivalent fatality rate for humans.

Also, according to many big game hunters, they are the tastiest animal. Apparently giraffe meat has a delightful sweetness to it.
Sadly, giraffe ranching hasn't caught on. But maybe once lab grown meat is widely available someone will finally bring it to the masses.
They taste something like bald eagle, with a hint of condor.
What an evil and selfish thing to say.
