5000 Camels in the Backyard, Mom Help!

Imagine living in a rural community and being trapped in your own home because there are well over 5,000 camels in your back yard and throughout the city? What on Earth are they doing there? Well, they’ve come to your town to find water, and you’re it. In fact, the drought is so pervasive that the wild animals are seeking refuge at the last known watering hole, your town. They are jumping in the swimming pools, reservoirs, lounging on your lawn, sitting in the sprinklers and they aren’t going anywhere.

Worse, there are 5,000 of them and more showing up each day, and they are there to stay, so many that you cannot drive down the street and you cannot leave your house or try to shoo them away. Does this sound apocalyptic or what? Now then, you are probably thinking this is a new plot for one of my new novels or screenplays, nope, this is a real story and it’s happening right now in Docker River, Australia and just as the name of this town suggests there is a river running through it. In fact, 350 people live there.

And whereas, you probably know that camels are nasty animals, these are not domesticated camels, these are wild camels, as wild as they come, and they will chase you down! Alert “killer camels” on the loose! The community also has a small airport, but no one can use it now. Worst of all there are estimated by wildlife professionals to be 1.1 million feral camels in Australia, and with the drought challenges they are reclaiming the human populated areas and domain.

If you thought you had a lawn, garden, or shrubbery in Docker River, Australia, well, you don’t have it anymore, it now belongs to the camels, as it is their new food supply, and that wonderful community you have, well, it’s not your anymore either. What they need is a solution, and they need it yesterday. Please consider all this.
