Toys R Us Giraffe Dies on Kevin James' "Zookeeper" Set


From worstpreviews, Kevin James is currently shooting his new movie "The Zookeeper," a comedy that is already experiencing a bit of problems with the animals involved.

While filming at the Franklin Park Zoo, producers transported in Tweet the giraffe, which has appeared in Jim Carrey's "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" and in a series of TV commercials for Toys R Us.

Upon Tweet's arrival onto the set on Friday, the 18-year-old animal (which had no known health problems) suddenly collapsed in its enclosure and died.

The animal welfare group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, alleges Tweet was mistreated and has asked for an investigation. American Humane, which oversees animal treatment on movie sets, denies mistreatment.
