Got a better idea, send all the camel jockeys back to their sandboxes.

[Grimmy]

Yep.

We have beef aplenty. Let the 3rd worlders eat substandard crap if they’re hungry. We don’t need or want it.

[heterosupremacist]

Yuck! I must call my broker and ask him to dump my Camel Futures investments...

Minneapolis. It figures. With all the muzzies and Somali’s Obama has trucked in there; it’s no surprise to find Habibi here selling camel meat.

~Gag!~

[ptsal]

What?
Goats are reserved for what?

[txrefugee]

No. Thanks. There are some globalist ideas that are too objectionable to be considered by Americans.

[dowcaet]

We got enough domestic critters to eat.

I once rode a camel in the United Arab Emirates (which is next door to Saudi Arabia).As a result of the ten minute long encounter I had with that camel I can safely say that I'd starve before I ate camel meat.

It was George H. W. Bush that started the importation of Somalians.

[dontreadthis]

this muzzie bullshit is WAY out of hand

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Well, I do like some feta and Boursin cheese. :)

Camel meat........no.

Camel’s milk does have health benefits not found in cow’s milk. It helps in the management of blood sugar levels in diabetes.

[faithhopecharity]

if we eat up all their camels, they’ll have to settle for goats

[MagUSNRET]

Marriage!!

The US is literally awash in cattle and lean venison on the hoof, along with wild and domesticated hogs and fowl by the millions. Like hell am I going to start eating camel.

"The Daily Caller noted that in President Obama's best-selling memoir, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, the president recalls being fed dog meat as a young boy in Indonesia with his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro.

"With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chill peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy)," the president wrote. "Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths.

He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share.""

Cattle is not native to North America, anymore than camels are. Cattle were introduced by the Spanish.

I remember reading the memoirs of an American sailor who was captured by North Africans in the 1800's. He and the other slaves were only allowed to eat camel urine, as the milk was reserved for the slavers and there was literally nothing else -- I say eat, because he described the camel urine as thick, sludge-like and salty.

Maybe we can start eating that too.
