Judge Orders Fake "Killer Giraffe" Story Removed

@ 2010/03/05
A state judge ordered a Web site to pull a story about a fictional giraffe attack at Global Wildlife Center in Folsom.

District Judge Brenda Bedsole Ricks signed the temporary restraining order Tuesday and scheduled a hearing for March 15 in 21st Judicial District Court in Amite on whether to make the injunction permanent, court records show.

The case has been assigned to state District Judge Beth Wolfe.

The Web site, Hammond Action News, posted a story Feb. 25 reporting a giraffe attacked and killed a tour guide, the lawsuit said.
