So why does there need to be any “generous state support” if the industry is viable?

Well, they need to pay James Garner to do a commercial, until the meat catches on...

A stand at the recent MN State Fair offered camel on a stick.

Well, if they taste good, I’d walk a mile for a camel.

The proven way to control the population of pests is to publish recipes. It works every time. You’ll soon see new items at your local Lebanese restaurant.

It makes sense to use them rather than let them rot like we did the buffalo.People will eat any meat.

That’s a very good question. But I think it would need quite a subsidy, and a very good advertising campaign, to ramp up demand for two of the items listed - camels’ teeth, and camels’ urine.

Hope you have a great hunt! To bad we can’t harvest the wild equines that over graze the BLM lands to feed people. If only horses looked more like camels.

That’s just it. The article says the market for camel cutlets and leather already exists in Araby so they don’t need to hire Jim Garner or Sam Eliot or cannibalize the music of Aaron Copeland to sell it in Oz. Hell, existing meat-processing facilities are probably adequate, what’s the problem?

Pack em up, ship em out, rawhide.

How about using them for cat or dog food?

The buffalo were killed to starve the Indians,not because they were a pest.
