Cuddle Fail: California Chick Kicked in Face by Giraffe

A California woman visiting a zoo in Wisconsin pulled down a portion of a fence and tried to hug a giraffe. The giraffe, bothered by the stink of a patchouli-wearing hippie gave her a swift kick right to the face. This giraffe has a strict “No Selfie” policy.

From CBS here:

Police say a California woman was cited after climbing into the giraffe exhibit at a Madison zoo and getting kicked in the face.
24-year-old Amada Hall, of San Luis Obispo, California, climbed over one fence and almost got over the second fence encircling the giraffe enclosure at the Henry Vilas Zoo about 5:30 p.m. Saturday. A 2-year-old, 12-foot-tall giraffe named Wally gave Hall a lick, then turned and kicked her in the face.
Zoo staff told police that giraffe’s are capable of killing lions, so the woman was fortunate that her injuries were not life threatening.
Police ticketed Hall for harassment of zoo animals, which has a fine of $686.
She told officers she climbed into the exhibit because she loves giraffes.

Would love to see this show up on YouTube. Huge fine for a cuddlefail!
