If it is SQL Server, you can do this using XML PATH.

You have to query something like-

SQL

SELECT  Column1
       ,STUFF((SELECT ', ' + Column2 [text()]
         FROM YourTable 
         WHERE Column1 = t.Column1
         FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE)
        .value('.','NVARCHAR(MAX)'),1,2,' ') Column2
FROM YourTable t
GROUP BY Column1

EXAMPLE:

SQL

DECLARE @MyTable TABLE(Column1 VARCHAR(20), Column2 VARCHAR(20))
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES ('Animal', 'dog'),('Animal', 'lion'),('Animal', 'tiger'),('Animal', 'goat')

SELECT  Column1
       ,STUFF((SELECT ', ' + Column2 [text()]
         FROM @MyTable 
         WHERE Column1 = t.Column1
         FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE)
        .value('.','NVARCHAR(MAX)'),1,2,' ') Column2
FROM @MyTable t
GROUP BY Column1

Hope, it helps :)
