Way to go, Bruce
It turns out that Australia has a huge feral camel population, possibly numbering up to a million.
According to the article I read in yesterday's Grauniad, the camels were imported and used to explore less hospitable parts of the country.
After they had served their turn, they were turned loose in the desert, their callous handlers figuring they'd die.
In the desert.
I find myself wondering if the Aussies imported sharks as pets, realised they weren't any good and hit upon the solution of drowning them.
