Australians urged to eat camels not cull them
Australians are being urged to eat camel meat to help tackle their population explosion.

At the Centralian Gold abattoir outside Alice Springs, business is brisk. Scores of animals are brought in each week to be slaughtered, deboned and packaged into sausages, steaks and mince.
But the largest slabs of meat on the racks are not beef, lamb or even kangaroo, but camel. Garry Dann, who owns the business, describes camel meat as "beautiful, healthy and organic" and says demand for the product is growing every month..................

Yeh heard a story on TripleJ about this around 6 months ago. Apparently camel bacon is the go also.
 
Funny our Kanga export industry is about to collapse because Russia has put banned them and there is no "demand" for it here. Russia is the main export market, like 80% or something :eek:

What really needs to be done is to create some dodgy export industry of camel meat, not live :rolleyes:, funded by K.rudd where 20 camels go into the abattoir and 1 comes out the other end.

This will then make mass culling of a pest more acceptable to the phublic.
 
Yes funny ain't it? Its a great meat, far superior to say lamb. Yet we snub it. Strange that the doughy eyed poms didn't take it back to Europe as a domesticated beast. :confused:

Could of been Oz contribution to the culinary world like S.Americas vanilla/Cocoa/tomato/etc

Instead our contribution has been this,

I bet if they sold packaged camel toe, it would fly off the shelf.

Then again Billy Brownless had a bit of camel toe showing whilst wearing that yellow lyca TAC crash dummy suit at the footy last week.. :bad:
 
Imagine it wouldn't taste too bad, I'd certainly try it.

I'm off to Peru in October where Alpaca steak is common, and the national specialty (apart from cerviche') is roasted guinea pig so a few obscure meats will be on the menu already.
 
Shouldnt Cramer do a nude spread, too? Maybe Rudd can send him a camel or two to pose on?
 
I have tried camel. It was unlike anything else I had eaten before, a bit sweet, a bit everything really. I did enjoy it though.

Anyone in Darwin - just go down to the Mindil Beach markets and go to the Road Kill stand (you kill it, we grill it - lol). You can try all sorts of stuff - croc, roo, camel, buffalo, possum etc..

Up here in Nth Qld, some farmers are actually trialling camels as a means of weed control - they eat most of the weeds.
 
How much protein is in camel meat? Roo meat is extremely high in CLA, does camel meat have any benefits like this over other meats?
 
Just having a giggle over the difference between English and Australian culture.

There is just no way that "Road Kill" would be marketable over here. :)

Hang on a sec is it true we are using air strikes on the camels?
What is this operation camel nuke, what do they mean by air strikes?
 
Camel powered green energy perhaps. Hell isn't there over a million of them. I'd like to see some evil genius use them as some kind of super army.
 
Like most feral animals that are declared as pests in Aus they should be culled then sold as meat instead of left to rot.

The problem they reckon is diseases but a wild animal is much more healthier then a domesticated one 9 times out of 10.

I know plenty of mates who hunt camels over in W.A and the meat they reckon is tops.


In the end if you culled them and consumed the meat it would be doing 2 positive things:

* Reducing feral animal impacts on our environment
* the more wild meat aussies eat the healthier a nation we become

Need i say more?
