    I'll just comment on your words since I can't load the video.

    holyshi-damn. lmao, thankgod I never liked the Prime Ministers /would never have voted for any of them, would rather vote for a dog to be Prime Minister/.

    Edit: So the Prime Minister of my country is having a go at killing Camels, ey? Like Fayt said, why not send them to another zoo instead? What a disgrace... I'm going to write him a very stern letter!

    So, this guy kills camels? As that over reacting guy said, "It's camelside". I don't get his motivation for killing them, if they are getting in the way or theres too many of them why doesn't he send some of them to some other country? Like how people move animals from different zoos around the world.
    Anyway, that guy who was on there really over reacted in my opinion, yeah its bad he's killing a load of camel but there is no need for a fit.

    He was obviously doing Australia a good thing. Those camels were probably planning to take over and wipe-out the humans. Good thing he figured it out and got to them first.

    So PETA freaks out over Obama swatting a fly, but camelcide is perfectly fine with them?

    Damn. That's as stupid as how Sarah Palin thought it was a great idea to allow strafe runs on wolves in Alaska. They don't use the animals for anything, just kill them. I can understand if there's an overpopulation issue but things could be done a lot neater than that. And 80 bucks a head? wow. Couldn't call the guy a serial killer anymore than I could call Sarah Palin one, but I can say that's pretty brutal and the approach to the problem is just all wrong.

    Slaughtering the camels probably isn't the best way of dealing with it, but it's really stupid calling the guy a serial killer.

    Man. And here I was hoping my inflammatory title would be responded to with common sense like it usually has been.

    I take it you guys aren't Australian? Camels are pests. They were introduced decades ago and then left to roam free in the outback where they survived. Unfortunately, the lack of foresight has caused damage to the ecology and a lot of natural species have reduced in population to dangerous levels and the camel is partly blame.

    The outback, as the name implies, is big and vast. Strafe runs are more effective in this situation. They camels bodies may be going to waste or whatever, but who gives a ****.
    You can't move them around or transport them because they're in the middle of ****ing nowhere and the cost is too much for something so pointless. Shoot them and be done with it, it's not that big an issue.

    We've done the same with kangaroos in the past. Cullings are necessary sometimes.

    You guys could have fed the crocodiles. Your loss. Still seems they could have been at least used for something other than to rot like that. Tons of big animal bodies rotting isn't good for the environment either heh.

    The crocodiles live in rivers and wetlands.
    The camels live in the deserts.
    Err.

    Look, the camels will still become carrion. Birds of prey, dingoes, foxes and other animals will help dispose of the bodies.

    There are thousands of camels. Australia seems to have quite a few issues with animals that were transported over there taking over environments and no one dealt with this one before there were thousands of camels in the desert? The crocodile thing was a joke, but the fact that the camel situation was let go for so long in the first place to the point where strafe runs for 80 bucks a camel had to be instated in the first place is just sad.

    We have snakes from South America and such that got out from pet shops in Florida and grew to immense proportions from the hurricane that hit there and yet people go out and gather them. I understand the problem quite well but think it could have been handled in a better way and it should have been handled a lot sooner. Camels are huge animals. It's rather hard to miss that they are mass producing and building a brigade out anywhere. I do think something had to be done. It's still a shame it had to evolve to this. Of course, Fox News went overboard with it and called the guy a serial killer and he isn't. In a way, the situation is more understanding than why Sarah Palin ordered wolves strafed in Alaska because wolves are actually not the problem that these camels are and they are even endangered in most places anymore. All I'm saying here is that though the act may have had to take place, it would have been better if tried another way and if that wasn't possible, Australians should be rather ticked off that this problem was let go for so long that better options were not available.

    The Tasmanian Tiger went extinct during the 20th Century.
    I'm pretty sure the claim is that more species of animals become extinct in Australia than anywhere else in the world.

    Does that give you a clue to how reactionary our government has been?
    In situations like the kangaroo culling, they only did that because they were threatening our water supply.
    At least they're doing something.

    The Amazon. I think the total there is dozens of species potentially going extinct there per day. Mostly things like insects, but they're still part of the ecosystem.

    On topic, though, why not start hunting them, instead of just airbombing them? I mean, if there's a billion dollars of meat out there (as was said in the video), surely the Australian people would rather have that money, than a bunch of camel carcasses rotting in the sun and spreading disease.
