Fox News - Kill a camel to stop pollution? That's what Australia is considering. The Land Down Under is considering killing feral camels to help tackle climate change, according to a report by news service AFP. The suggestion came in a paper from the country's Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency. A camel produces methane equivalent to one ton of of carbon dioxide a year, making the animal one of the country's biggest greenhouse gasses emitters, it noted. A commercial company, Northwest Carbon, has proposed culling more than one million camels in the Australian Outback to eliminate that gas emissions, according to AFP. In the proposed plan, the company would shoot the camels from a helicopter or round them up and send them to a slaughterhouse. "We're a nation of innovators and we find innovative solutions to our challenges -- this is just a classic example," Northwest Carbon managing director Tim Moore told Australian Associated Press.
Before I just go ahead and say this, let it be known that I think camels are the shit. The absolute shit. Just the chillest looking dudes in the animal kingdom. Always look like they're packing a lip and just completely unimpressed by everything that's going on around them. I'd love to hang out with a camel on a bromance type level.
That said, I'm 1000% down with shooting the green house gas polluting motherfuckers from a helicopter. It's nothing against the camel, that just sounds like an awesome time for real. Riding around in a helicopter is boss enough as it is, add in firing at camels with an assault rifle? Well that's just epic.
