The Hill reported citing The Australian, the plan is killing up to 10,000 camels by helicopters in five days starting from today.
Marita Baker, executive board member said that the camels were causing problems in her community of Kanypi. “We have been stuck in stinking hot and uncomfortable conditions, feeling unwell, because the camels are coming in and knocking down fences, getting in around the houses and trying to get to water through air conditioners,” she said.
