Killing 113 camels in 3 hours must be a paradise-like place for friends with hunting plots! Loading, aiming, and firing in one go is so refreshing!
But for Jack Camodi there is a sense of urgency to complete the task, because for him, it is to defend his homeland, to defend his farm from being destroyed by camels!
On August 29, the British newspaper The Times published an article about a Western Australian farmer Jack Kamodi who killed 113 camels in a helicopter in 3 hours in order to keep his cattle farm from being harassed by camels, but it was not the craziest in Jack Kamodi's record, and his highest record was to kill 436 camels in one day.
After killing so many camels, Jack Kamodi did not intend to clean it up, but let it rot and stink in the semi-desert area of Australia, and then attracted a large number of scavengers to deal with it, and finally a pile of white bones was left!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > how did the Camels of Australia come from? Why kill so many camels? </h1>
Speaking of the story of camels in Australia, it is simply a handful of snot and tears for camels, because this is a story of European colonists who "abandoned the river and demolished the bridge".
In the 18th and 19th centuries, a large number of European colonists arrived in Australia and began arduous infrastructure work, no roads, no means of transport, horses are not very adapted to the Australian climate, of course, knowledgeable explorers from India introduced camels, this drought-tolerant, infinitely powerful, and docile camel has become the best means of transportation in central Australia.
But the good times were not long, after the gradual development of Australia, this kind of livestock that needed a lot of hay and pooped on the ground was obviously not in line with the pursuit of the upper class, and the convenience of the oil-burning means of transportation was outrageous, and the camels that had contributed to the construction of Australia for a hundred years were abandoned.
Of course, life will find its own way out, especially the camel is a highly adaptable animal, so the Australian wild has become the most suitable breeding paradise for camels, after a hundred years of development, Australian camels have become a huge population of millions of heads.
The camels' nibbling destroyed the fragile ecology of central Australia, and the drought climate in Australia in the late twentieth century exacerbated this contradiction, because these camels began to break into farms and residential areas in search of water, pull out water pipes, and even destroy toilets and kitchens, making the local people cry bitterly.
The Australian government has also spared no effort in killing camels, shooting, poisoning bait, and isolating people to hunt, and in 2009, it also implemented a "Judas collar" plan, that is, using the characteristics of camels to live in groups, wearing positioning collars for some camels, and then killing a group of camels according to Tusoji, and then keeping this camel to continue the next killing.
The Judas Collar killed 160,000 camels in a few years, but even so, camels have maintained positive growth, from 1 million in early 2000 to 1.2 million in 2018, so Australians are going crazy!
This time, the Western Australian farmer Jack Camodi hated the camels very much, because they not only destroyed the fence, but also competed with the cattle for food, and the drinking device and water pipe were destroyed by them, and Jack Camodi hated them to the bone!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" Data-track="9" > why don't camel carcasses be disposed of? Humps are delicious, why don't Australians eat them? </h1>
You must be very concerned about what to do with these camels after they are killed, because the camel meat is properly delicious, especially the hump delicacy, and it is not easy to eat it, so what does this Australian do after killing the camel?
The flower grower responsibly tells you that most of the time it is thrown into the wilderness, let it rot, stink, fly flies, and then all kinds of scavengers flock to it, and it will not be long before it becomes a skeleton of Bai Sensen, and finally the skeleton under the weathering effect also begins to scatter on the ground, slowly covered by yellow sand.
Such a "poetic" picture must be a pity, is it really that Australians do not eat camels? Of course, the flower grower also responsibly tells you that Australians eat, but rarely eat this kind of camel that has been shot!
Is the gun poisonous? Why can't I eat it?
Some people say that lead bullets are poisonous, in fact, wrong, killing camels is the standard bullet, can not get or NATO standard guns, may also be civilian bullets, anyway, Australians can always get, the caliber is mostly 7.62 mm, because the camel weighs 700 kg, want a shot down, or it is not easy.
So camel meat can be eaten, and in 2016 the Northern Territory government and the South Australian government also jointly released a report to vigorously support camels and extension industries, such as camel tourism, camel fur trade, and camel meat products, etc. Australian restaurants have also withdrawn from camel meat and other demand, and a restaurant in Adelaide, South Australia, has camel roast meat for sale.
Even Australians have set off a boom in drinking camel milk, which is said to be a low-fat, healthier drink than milk, and is still a high-end health product in Australia.
But the question remains: Why let it rot in the wilderness?
The Times report explained this, there are camel processing factories in many parts of Australia, the camel carcass is cut, and then packaged and then shipped to various supermarkets for sale, so some supermarkets in Australia have camel meat for sale.
In addition, the remaining part of the camels that cannot be sold will be disposed of as pet food, such as dog food and cat food and various animal feeds, etc., but the two parts add up, the annual demand for camels in Australia is about 5,000 heads, about 3,500 to 4,000 tons of camel meat.
And the real reason behind it is very simple, because these camels are too scattered, it is difficult to send to the processing center in time, and the area where the camels are located is desert and semi-desert, the demand for wild meat for Australians is different from our consumption concept, we think that wild meat is very expensive and delicious, but Australians do not believe in evil, may also be because of suspicion of parasites, eating things are too dirty and have no consumption power, and even need to pluck up the courage to try.
Therefore, the idea of Australians consuming camel meat is very similar to the idea that Americans do not eat Asian carp, which is not within the traditional concept of consumption, so the cost of camel meat processing is expensive but can only be sold at a low price, and over time, the entire industry cannot form a system, and the high protein grown on these Australian lands is wasted in this way.
In recent years, the Australian government has also promoted camel meat exports, but the question is which country has the greatest demand for meat now? There is no doubt that it should be China, as long as the camel meat has passed the inspection and quarantine, and the price is right, the quality is good, we can indeed consume it, which is no problem, but the Morrison government from time to time, where to buy is not to buy it? Why watch Morrison's stinky face buy something?
So this thing is yellow, Australian camels are Australian business, they are worried about us to see the liveliness! As for the Australian government, it should be sold by the Americans, it is said that the red wine and coal market, has long been occupied by the United States, it is really sold by people to help the number of people to pay, the world's most stupid to give Morrison!
