What was once helicopter camel herding will become camel culling for some as from tomorrow in drought stricken and fire ravaged parts of Australia.

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?

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.

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.

Wouldn't they drink water then?

If you have 10,000 camels to cull, perhaps a gatling gun would be quicker?

Though an R22 or R44 would be too 'small' - maybe an A10?

Is someone going to harvest all the fleas for use in curses?

As you say the numbers don't add up. All to be completed in 5 days apparently. The idea is fanciful.

As for the water drunk by camels one could put forward a modest proposal as per Jonathan Swift and suggest that humans are the biggest consumers of water in a dry land and propose a modest cull of the Aboriginals, or maybe even Australians generally.

I heard that sort of curse in the ME sometimes.

Course not. But the AGW loonies have to have it in there somewhere don’t they.

Is there anything adverse that they haven’t attributed to GW yet? Warm beer? Dry deserts? Fly in one’s soup? Flat tyre? Broken nail?

Hope that you’re not suggesting Alison or any of our members down under

I’ve been out of the country for 30+ years and fully AGWproof. I think there should be culling of greenies down there instead (say $50 a head) and let the camels live. Camels are affable and far more smarter than your run of the mill Green brigade idiot. May even consider coming down there meself if open season was declared on these dopes.

Plus I’d get a free chopper ride!

Nah, the Australians that post here seem well worth their water and my Swiftian proposal was more just taking the piss.
