Australian Officials: Eat Camel Meat to Save the Environment
Believe it or not, the world's largest wild camel heard isn't roaming the Sahara -- it's actually surging its way unchecked through the Australian outback. Officials say these feral camels are out of control, damaging the fragile desert ecosystems and wreaking havoc on the very scarce water resources in the region. That's why they're encouraging all patriotic Aussies to throw some camel steaks on the barbie to help save the environment. Just a few months ago, the Australian Kangaroo Meat Council was trying to convince citizens to buy into kangaroo meat -- now it's camels. After studying the invasive desert creatures for the last 3 years, scientists at Australia's Desert Knowledge Cooperative Research Center have decided that the best way to bring down the population is to cook them up. That way they won't go to waste. Could it really be that effective to run ad campaigns to change peoples' eating habits? If so, wouldn't the world be skinny and vegan? Oh well, I guess it's better than the WWF's creepy baby-on-a-platter ad.
