Did you know that llamas are also used to protect sheep from predators? They are quite aggressive towards coyotes.

Cute to look at, however they spit and bite. I'd put my money on the llamas taking care of themselves against the ignorant terrorists.

On the downside, the animal is reputed to be touchy and to spit when cross. Sounds like many Dimocrats I know.

Funny, mules were the animal of choice as beasts of burden until this century. Are the Israeli's saying they lack the intelligence of their forebears to manage and train a team of mules? Also I believe most mules produced from a standard sized horse dam are able to carry much more than the 132 pounds each llama can carry.
And I would like to see an Israeli adult ride a llama.

Maybe Balaam's ass soured them on the experience.
