Sarah Palin Shoots Giraffe In Cincinnati Zoo

Cincinnati, Ohio - Today, while taking a break from an End of Times convention in Cincinnati, Governor Sarah Palin went for a short walk with her aides and ended up in the city zoo. Marveling at the variety of animals all around her, the Governor mistakenly thought she had accidentally stumbled into a hunters' paradise.

Taking advantage of the situation she quickly pulled her trusty 9mm Glock 17 out of her Hermès Birkin bag and shot dead the zoo's prize Reticulated Giraffe in front of a large group of horrified school children. Governor Palin then ordered her aides to cut off its head and ship it back to Alaska for her trophy room.

Remarking to reporters later in the day, Palin said, "I had no idea Ohio had such a wide variety of native species. I'm comin' back next week with Todd and were gonna get us some more funny looking creatures."
