Australia to kill farting camels ?

I agree Not a bad idea. We've got a Congress in the U.S. that needs "culling". So let's all shoot a farting camel, and while we're at it, come on over ansd start shooting some of this flatulent American beef cattle. We'll kill two carbon footprints at the same time!

Then there's all those rotting formerly flatulent dromedarians...contributing all the more gasses into the atmosphere. My God...all over nonsense. I hope we don't start hearing about this type of massacre really starting... There was talk of something similar in Norway. Culling like a hundred thousand reindeer for that reason. Not sure if they went through with it. Still, this is ridiculous.

Can't we just kill some of the death row inmates who are actually guilty of crimes and...I don't know, keep the camels around since they pollute far less than humans on death row?

I perceive that the option pool here has diminished to the undesirable, and the more undesirable! I think we allow the system to deal with death row criminals, and that we allow the camel population in Australia to be controlled reasonably....not to diminish pollution or global warming , but rather, to rid them of a pest...apparently a pest. I'm interested, not because of some dumb global warming nonsense, bu... [More]

The camels were brought to Australia during the 19th century and early 20th century as animals to be used for transportation and labor. The feral camel population of Australia is estimated to number around one million individuals, which has the potential to double to two million in around nine years given the reproduction rates seen in the animals, plus the additional fact that there are no predators to limit their numbers.

There's more wind comes from fat politicians. Best to cull parliament. LOL OMG that is funny. I feel the same way about Washington sometimes...

~~~ ... If these creatures are problematic, what can be done? ... If these dromedarians are a problem, what can people do? Do we shoot them all? The answer is in rounding up many/most of the camels, and herding them together with domestic cattle. That is already being done on a small scale, but to become a valuable National Asset, a lot of money and work needs to be invested. Any takers?
