Peggye Mcnair, of Wichita Falls, Texas, was crushed to death by her pet camel on Saturday morning. According to the Daily Mail, 73-year old Peggye McNair and her companion, 53-year old Mark Mere, were trampled to death at Camel Kisses Farm after the exotic animal became enraged.
It was alleged that the camel was in heat or wanted to mate at the time of the tragic deaths. Law enforcement officials say that once the animal became angry, he charged at ranch hands McNair and Mere. The farm owner apparently tried to close the gate, but the camel was able to get out rapidly.
When police arrived at the scene located in the 4200 block of FM 367, they found two people who were already deceased. Both victims, who were identified as Peggye McNair and Mark Mere, had severe head injuries

“It was alleged that the camel was in heat or wanted to mate at the time of the tragic deaths.”
Someone should have told the Camel “Stick to your species!”

The overwhelming majority of camels are peaceful. It's the radical, violent
jihadi camels that you gotta watch out for.
I sincerely hope that right wing fanatical camel-haters don't think all camels are this way.

Two Bads; #1. That a lady and her friend who loved animals ended up being killed by one of those animals.
#2. That the ‘offending Camel’ was put to death for his ‘crime’.
Camels, like horses are huge and heavy beasts. We must never forget they are animals first. Some won’t ever be ‘cuddly’ and don’t even want us that close to them.
To: BenLurkin
The man was in the pen, trying to break ice that had covered the camel’s water trough. The woman was trying to close the gate to cover his escape.
It would be nice if people showed some respect for them.
