If a giant friendly animal of any sort suddenly appeared on the planet somewhere what do you think would happen to it?

You can imagine what it looks like but it must have these characteristics:

1) It is a herbivore
2) poses no threat to man
3) It's bigger than any other living thing.
4) It's bigger than any fictional animal in any book or film.

Can a friendly giant live peacefully among mankind?

Kinda like King Kong or Godzilla, but without the danger aspect.

It'd be fine if it landed in the UK, we're a nation of animal lovers! But I'd worry about it's safety if an Asian country got hold of it. America would probably kill it then apologise and say it thought it had WMDs or something.

Bizarre question.....but interesting. I think eventually it would be....removed. As quietly as it's possible to slaughter an animal of that scale. So basically, I imagine we'd end up trying to drown it in the atlantic. I don't think there's any way we'd tolerate it for long, especially after any scientific usefulness has expired.

The only viable option would be to find a suitable island in the middle of nowhere for it, but there would have to be a guarantee that it wouldn't be able to swim to inhabited places, and it'd probably die from lack of food pretty quickly.

The Japanese would make burgers out of it for 'scieintific research'.

The CIA would attempt to kill it by calling in a missile strike on a mountain village in North Korea, wiping out many. Then they'd actually realise they have to look for the animal before actually trying to kill something, go and find it, and kill it.

That's exactly what I thought!

Plus, maybe the discovery channel would show documentaries about CREATURE all day, instead of fucking sharks every ten minutes.

YES, sharks are sooo passe...

After saying that, I'm going to die by shark death aren't I? :(

I would slay it with my own hands and feast upon its rich flesh.

I hear they're all gristle. And not kosher, either. Not that you care.

Lol!

That made me think of Luke Skywalker climbing into the dead animal thing to keep warm.

Well I could stretch tarp over its ribcage and live in it I suppose. The smell would drive me insane.
