There are a million camels out there. We have to remove over a 100, 000 a year to keep pace with their breeding.
Can't these be exported? Not being a greenie, but $$$ help.
I remember reading somewhere that the bloodlines in Australia are highly sought after in some Arabic nations for racing?
There are enough Camels behind wire to supply that market and camel farms like Henbury still went broke. Camels require high heavy rails in yards, cost lots to transport cause they can only use single deck trailers. When I was in NT (2007) it cost $600 per camel to transport them to slaughter in SA. We will have no edible native plants out in the deserts soon as the camels eat. Native limes, Sandlewood, Quandong all the good bush tucker and they wreck trap yards.
Who do we contact as recreational shooters, or is camel culling only done by professionals?
I could get out to SA a few times a year to camp out somewhere and knock some over.
What happens to the meat?
