So they’ve shot 15 out of 1 Million. Boys, you need to improve your marksmanship. If you aren’t killing 1 per day, something is horribly wrong.
PETA will put an end to this. Or, in Australia, they’ll die trying.
Does it taste like chicken?
>>The camels are mostly shot by police officers, who accompany the hunting expedition<<
Is that because the Aussies all had to turn in their shootin’ irons to the Gumm’int?

YEOWTCH!!!
actually the pic shows a dromedary - a single humper, rather than the more familiar bactrain double humper.

No, because we didn't. This myth has wide currency in the United States, but it is a myth.
There are millions of guns legally held by private citizens in Australia. Law abiding citizens can legally own firearms. We've got some dumb laws concerning registration and storage (certainly can't hang something on a wall - if not in use under active control, it's locked away in a safe), and you have to have different types of licences for different types of guns, but Australians are not disarmed - and in the areas where its possible to hunt camels, it would not be hard to get a gun for hunting camels.
Personally, I own one of these:
and one of these:
as well as a number of basic hunting rifles. And I am certainly not heavily armed compared to friends (some of them are collectors - for me a firearm is a tool, and I can only use one rifle and one handgun at a time, so for me what I have is enough.)
