Absolutely PERFECT Metaphor for Involvement

You can't make this stuff up....http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/francois-hollande/9978635/Francois-Hollandes-camel-eaten-in-Mali.html

Mr Hollande initially intended to have the camel vaccinated and transferred to a French zoo. But given the complex procedures required and "the rigours of the harsh French climate for a desert animal", he eventually decided to leave it in the care of a family in Timbuktu.

Mr Le Drian said the family apparently wasted no time slaughtering the animal and putting it in a traditional tagine. While mature camel is almost inedible, the flesh from young animals is said to be tender.

"Yes, Monsieur Hollande, we'll... take care of the camel..."

Trust someone with your camel and what do they do, eat it. Should of took it to France, I think it could of put up with the French climate a little better than being eaten.
