Old zookeeper.

Every zoo animal that dies or is euthanized is required to have an autopsy. Small animals can be sent to the pathologist but large animals need to have the autopsy done at the zoo. The veterinarian who cared for this giraffe had to take part in her autopsy, removing organs and cutting her into smaller pieces. The remains were likely cremated.
