Officials will kill thousands of camels in Australia as they drink too much water amid the wildfires. Leaders in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in northwest Australia will send helicopters to kill up to 10,000 camels in a five-day campaign starting Wednesday, The Australian reported. The order to kill comes as a drought makes the camels more desperate for water, causing chaos in local communities. Marita Baker, an APY executive board member, told the newspaper that the camels were causing problems in her community of Kanypi.
"We have been stuck in stinking hot and uncomfortable conditions, feeling unwell, because the camels are coming in and knocking down fences, getting in around the houses and trying to get to water through air conditioners,'' she said.
The State Department for Environment and Water will send the helicopters up. The camels' bodies will be burnt or buried if they are accessible, but in remote areas, their bodies will be left.
The camels are also being removed due to concerns about greenhouse gas emissions, since camels emit one ton of carbon dioxide per year.

These Australians have lost their minds.
Asinine...................
PETA?
Where art thou. For once?
They seem to be very exciteable people. Like how they panicked and were stampeded to draconian gun laws by a single shooting incident.
Camels are not exactly native to Australia.

FYI - The area this culling will happen in is managed by an Aboriginal local government. The camel is an invasive species damaging the land and local indigenous wildlife, they have been battling for decades.
I wonder when conservatives will be found to emit to much CO2?
Neither are most animals in a zoo
Are the Asstralians taking their marching orders from the mentally ill Greta Thunberg? Poor camels. I just read elsewhere that over 100 brushfires were set deliberately by Asstralian teenagers. So the camels have to be killed because of their stupidity which caused such a widespread catastrophe.
Flying in to smoke a Camel.

How much carbon will those helicopters be emitting???
My nose smelled what you did there.
Maybe the helicopters would be better used for shooting the leftist arsonists who are blaming “global warming” for the devastation that they themselves cause.
Send them back to the M.E.!
You mean they could have served Camel Meat at the Golden Globes instead of the “Plant Based” (what we used to call Salad) Meal they served the blame Climate Change for the fires in Australia Elites?
The amount of CO2 emitted by 10 conservatives is trivial compared to the amount spewed by a single hyperventalating liberal...
That’s a lot of meat gone to waste.
True but that’s a lot of meat. They usually sell them to Arabs so aren’t the Arabs buying them for meat any more?
