RIYADH (Reuters) - Hundreds of camels have died in Saudi Arabia this week from a mystery ailment.
The Agriculture Ministry has said 232 camels died in the space of four days in the Dawasir Valley, 400 km (250 miles) south of Riyadh. King Abdullah has promised compensation for owners, who say the real number of deaths is far higher.
Agriculture ministry officials have denied an infectious disease caused the deaths and blamed them on animal feed supplied by food storage authorities.

I’d say the C.I.A. is responsible but we know they can’t do anything right at that agency/

I wonder if the Chinese are making Camel feed nowadays.
I also wonder if the towel head camel humpers are giving them some sort of sexual disease

“Agriculture ministry officials have denied an infectious disease caused the deaths and blamed them on animal feed supplied by food storage authorities.”
Looks the Chinese may have found an outlet for their excess pet food after we recalled all those brands

“Hundreds of Saudi camels die from mystery ailment”
My farce of a diagnosis:
The camels committed suicide rather than serve Wahhabists.
And no, I don’t even play a vet doctor on TV.

The camels must be poking the wrong ends instead of their noses into the tents.
