HARPURSVILLE, NEW YORK — A live video stream of a giraffe giving birth is now back on YouTube after being yanked down, reportedly due to “sexually explicit” and “nude content” complaints. <br /> <br />April the giraffe is expecting a baby at the Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, City News reported. <br /> <br />Zoo officials had placed a camera in April’s pen as she prepared to give birth to her fourth calf. <br /> <br />Before the live stream was hit with YouTube’s finally tuned community guidelines, it had 30 million views in 12 hours on Wednesday. <br /> <br />However, the stream was suddenly cut off after 7 a.m. <br /> <br />The zoo’s owner, Jordan Patch, thinks “a handful of extremists or animal rights activists” were responsible for flagging the video and having it taken down. <br /> <br />YouTube admitted it sometimes makes the wrong call when taking down flagged videos. <br /> <br />… Sometimes? <br /> <br />After appealing to YouTube, the zoo was allowed to start another live stream. <br /> <br />Apparently, some animal justice warriors don’t have a problem with the live stream, the problem is that the giraffe is being born in captivity, according to City News.
