LadariousGarage 1 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 they are not native to australia, so I understand I guess but like gurl, like how about you do something about the climate crisis, causing thousands to lose their homes, including many of my friends, causing people from my home town to wake up to this this morning Spoiler oh, and even better, Scott Morrison, while these fires were going on, went on holiday to Hawaii, WTF, and seemed very disingenuous and rude to the people of a town that burned down, and he still refuses to do anything about the ongoing climate crisis Lets do it baby I know the Law Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustTea 6,964 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 And the government of Australia barely even cares about the climate change... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you suggest to the Australian govt to do about the camels? Take responsibility and provide water supply for them. Maybe use a little bit of the huge amount of money they're making off coal (which is contributing to these droughts) to actually create water resources for everyone?

Doot 2 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 TIL that there are camels in Australia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weed 79,089 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 If they're doing this I'd hope they utilize 100% of the camels slaughtered.. skin/leather/fur/meat/bone can be used, and 10,000 is a fkton of them. Also if (when) the water runs out even without the camels then...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reject False Icons 4,960 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Wow what if we shoot 10,000 people for polluting too much. I mean the camels aren’t guilty for being introduced to a foreign ecosystem by humans desire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think these options have never entered the minds of none of them government officials of Australia? Do you think it comes down to cost and priorities, feasibility? Truly a tragedy for the camels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The least they can do is let summer season pass and rainfall will be back in a month or two anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dit 46,738 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I hope they manage to sell them off to another country instead. There are plenty of nations that use camels. Australian camels tend to be those found in Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Afghanistan's arid regions I believe. Hopefully they can repatriate them there?

How about they shut down their enormous grass-fed beef industry and stop deforesting their rainforests while they're at it. Agreed, but unfortunately that appears to be just wishful thinking as far too many people enjoy beef (and some other meats) at the cost of our planet But I just know that certain people are going to come into this thread screaming that everyone but them is biased and wrong, despite there being plenty of scientific evidence refuting their statements, once again existing in the context of all in which I live and what came before me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Temptation 11,209 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Camels outcompete with native fauna for food. They are an invasive species, and should not have been allowed to grow exponentially and uncontrollably in the way that they have. That said, I hope they at least try to save the animals and send them to countries that need or value them. Or if killing is the only viable way, make sure they are killed humanely with their meats sold rather than just wasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahb 17,213 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Killing camels is the last thing people should get up in arms over. These are invasive animals, get a grip. Do you feel him sir? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctherainbow 3,162 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 So originally I was going to query as to why there were camels in Australia, but... honestly, it is a totally classic English colonizer move to go “oh, hey, this continent has a desert. Ya know what goes great in deserts? CAMELS!!! Let’s import some camels.” I'm talkin' 'bout forever, baby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
