Methinks somebody sees a big profit somewhere in this and camels will probably be needless collateral damage midst the greater disaster that has killed literally millions of other species already in the last couple of months.Feral camels in South Australia will be killed to stop the animals drinking water in the drought-ravaged region.
More than 10,000 camels will be culled by professional shooters in helicopters from Wednesday after an order from Aboriginal leaders in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara lands (AYP).
The culling, which is expected to take five days, comes as communities complain of the feral creatures invading properties in search of water.
There is also concern the animals are contributing to global warming as they emit methane equivalent to one tonne of carbon dioxide a year. Really?

Good for the R22 cowboys out there I guess. Camel herding and farming makes far more sense than just shooting the animals and leaving them to rot in the bush methinks.
