“No details on what triggered the camel, aside from poor care and control of the animals, but, geez...”

One guy probably said to the other “Let’s go look at the Camel” and the Camel thought he said Kamela, so it killed them.

I was stationed on a ship with a guy whose name was “the mule” he carried that moniker since he was about ten when he got kicked in the bag by a mule at a petting zoo and lost one to science.

Grown men going to a petting zoo? Me suspects there may be some alcohol involved here and perhaps attempts at riding said camel.

“Did they smoke the camel?”

Yes.

This never happened before Biden was elected (through fraud). Camel could have been worried if WW-III was about to break out

Camel should have taken Psaki's advice.

DIL took the grandson to a so called petting zoo.

He was 3 at the time took a picture of him petting and hugging a small whitetail buck in velvet.

I told he in no uncertain terms that that was not a smart thing to do.

But nothing happen. I told her that they got away with that time.

She has killed an fair number of deer and one bear.

some times women are just to emotional.

Camels are not cute cuddly creatures. In fact, they can be quite nasty.

NOT “Petting Zoo” material.

I completely understand a camel going crazy.

What if you were in a chance at Miss America and you were told you couldn't compete because you had false humps?

And no one goes to a petting zoo expecting to die.

After reading this article, I'll avoid any and all petting zoos in the future.

If I wanted to increase the odds of an "unexpected" death, I would go get injected with a dangerous, untested vaxxxxxxxine. To make death even quicker, I'd get a booster or two.
