“Yup, never figure out if the animal was taunted and provoked. Just shoot it.”
It said the camel was coming at the police who were loading the guys into the ambulance.
I sympathize with an animal until it becomes a threat.
I first posted about this yesterday - this article adds new info. that the two deceased men were evidently trying to help capture the camel. Oh, golly, trying to capture most any wild mammal is NOT wise unless one has training and (probably) equipment. Even a freaking mouse can give a nasty little bite w/ possible infection.
Agreed on taking down the camel: Some of the comments at the article sound like people are more upset about the camel’s demise than the two men!
That said, the people running this outfit were irresponsible to have wild animals, no matter how tame they might seem, in a petting zoo. It sounds like the animals were not well cared for, either. I’m gonna guess this operation will get sued out of existence, and there might be criminal charges too?
