Shame on you!!! There certainly are a lot of judgemental people out there and some of the comments have been down right mean, rude and cruel, none of you know the family, or the situation and I bet alot of you don''t know anything about camels and how they act, besides the article said she liked exotic animals, so for all anyone knows she may have been happy to have received a camel for her birthday. It''s an unfortunate tragedy and instead of most of you are critizing the family for giving her the camel, you might be a little more sympathetic to the family since they have lost their loved ones.

Why didn''''t she just kick the camel in the balls or deck him in the face

No doubt because she was frail, she WAS 60, I doubt she was a professional body builder or arm wrestler .

Though the camel is a large animal, his ***, which is at least three feet long, is not thicker than the little finger of a man; Voyage d%u2019Olearius, tom. I. p. 554 [back to page 144].

If not aided, courting and mating can be very violent. If the male selects a female and she is not willing to go down quietly when he approaches her, he will bite at her neck and eventually roughly force her to the ground. There the female utters her guttural protest, while the male first straddles her and then gently slides down until he is squatting on his back legs (Photo 6). Copulation lasts for about 15 minutes. This is accompanied by much gurgling and grunting. The male pushes forward continuously with many pelvic thrusts. The male gives about 7 ml of *** with an average of 615 million sperm per mm (Chen and Yuang, 1979).

The male is normally docile and easily controlled, however, in the rutting season he can become so aggressive that he is dangerous and cannot be handled. He is extremely restless. He blows a balloon-like flap out of the side of his mouth which is called a palatal flap (Charnot, 1963; Yagil and Etzion, 1981) (Photo 5). I

Well, she shouldn''t have been partying with him, and why did she go up to his room at 3 in the morning if she wasn''t asking for it? Wait, sorry, I was thinking about Mike Tyson...

There are plenty of people with pet camels, And not just from Australia."
kkpp

And how many of them are 60 year old frail women?
This is like giving an 8 year old a Cyldesdale stallion for her birthday, you don''t give pets to ANYONE unless they ask for one! this is the problem around xmas time with puppies and kittens, people will amazingly do stupid things like give a St Bernard puppy to a 70 year old woman who lives in a small apartment on the 3rd floor, or a Clydesdale stallion to an 8 year old kid whose last pet was a kitten but she wanted a real horse after playing with ''my little pony''

You don''t people living animals they my not want or are ill equipped to deal with, and you certainly don''t buy inappropriate pets for other people. You wouldn''t buy your neighbor lady a set of underwear and bras for xmas, why would you buy her a PET she may not even want or may not be able to handle?

I need to send this camel to my "X". I guess "***" kills. This story needs to be further investigated by Katy Couric, maybe she can do one of her famous interviews, and put words in the camels mouth what kinda of *** gesture was this???????????
