People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals issued the following statement on the incident:
"This dangerous incident is exactly what Pittsburgh's ban on using weapons to threaten wild and exotic animals should be preventing. Had the Shriners abided by the law and left animals out of their show, instead of taking the city to court, this camel and these children would have been spared this terror and possible injury. PETA is calling on the Syria Shriners to let this be the straw that ends the camel acts and urging the public never to buy a ticket to any circus that uses animals."

At this point, it's unclear what caused the camel to get spooked. We may never know its motive.

Video sent to Channel 11 shows the camel buck and throw the children off its back.
That was a bloody stupid thing to do in the first place.
