Well you might think they're are all nice and fluffy and in need of a hug Kim but I beg to differ.

I've seen it first hand; they are quite literally destroying the environment out there. They need to be stopped, and not only at Docker River either and it certainly is not a laughing matter - maybe to you.

Kill them, kill them all, and bring some equilibrium back to the outback.

Hardly in Alice, almost on the WA border quite a distance from here and they defintely don't need a cuddle

Err, methinks Kim has tongue firmly planted in cheek...

I wouldn't mind helping out !

Kim,
I can see the headlines now," Big Game Hunters arrive in the Territory to cull one of the most dangerous animals on the planet "

A local spokesperson has told the camels to spit on the big game hunters.

In retaliation the big game hunters have come back with.
If it moves shoot it and if it doesn't move shoot it in case it does move. Double points will be awarded to those claiming road signs as trophies.

Feral as in introduced , wild camels ,pigs , foxes , rabbits , cats , water buffalo, ect ect shoot the lot ,

The most disappointing thing about this proposed cull is that the media gives time to any looney greenie dingbat, particularly if they reside overseas, voicing their opinion and recommending tourists don't come to Australia because we are killing camels.

That's why the media is banned from the area and there's even an area of closed airspace.

Personally I'd love to be out there joining in. Get a few .3030 rounds off from my Marlin lever action.

Let me at it....

When we lived in Madang in PNG the street trees in town were infested with fruitbats. Once a year anyone with a shotgun could come into town and everyone blasted away at the dirty little winged rats.

Unfortunately, I was still a redneck then, but not a gun toting one. I missed out.

Seems this is getting some world-wide coverage!
From newspaper reports I have received from friends in Switzerland, it seems some helpful person from there called Franz Weber wants to save 6000 camels by shipping them to both Saudi Arabia and also to ship some to Bonrook Station near Pine Creek (one of his nature parks, according to Wikipedia), where he also saves brumbies from terrible suffering in the wild.
Sounds fair enough...

Gday Kim,
Sorry I didnt reply earlier but I was out the back feeding the camels. (with lead)
Poor little buggers were staving!...........any way, how did you go fitting the Latte machine and four poster bed in your camper?

Have a good Xmas too mate.

Cheers

I stayed at Umuwa in the Anangu Pitjanjatjara Lands for a week in May and did a few day trips. We were told to keep the gate to the compound closed to keep out the donkeys.

There were quite a few herds of donkeys and camels about.
