Two dead after CAMEL rampage in Tennessee
[link to www.toddstarnes.com (secure)]


Two people are dead after they were attacked by a camel in Obion County in northwest Tennessee.

The Obion County Sheriff’s Office said it was called to a report of a loose camel near the Shirley Farms petting zoo. Deputies arrived and found two people unconscious on the grounds and a camel loose.

As first responders worked to move the victims to safety, investigators said the camel attacked an Obion County deputy’s vehicle, then moved toward the deputies who were trying to save the victims.


---------------


the two people died at the scene, and the camel was shot and killed.

Video posted by Vanessa Ives, will put here. Best info so far:

Can't imagine going to the petting zoo as a visitor, or going there to take care of the animals, and ending up dead.

Probably a little pay back, just like the lion and elephants that kill their "masters" It will probably be out down, but went out like a boss. The camel kingdom will talk about him through the ages.

I wonder what happened here - were the guys visitors, or workers. Don't know if they broke into the enclosure, either.

If I find out more in local news will post. This is just so odd.


if they need their hooves looked after like horses, sometimes you gotta "mess" with them -

they move like horses that pace -
the two legs on one side move in unison.

looks like a trot but isn't.

do you have a photo of the cage?


probably had an enclosure like a paddock with a shed of some type. Someone kept llamas near my house in Delaware.

they had a run-in shed and acres of pasture.

Re: Two dead after CAMEL rampage in Tennessee
Deaths associated with camels involve kicking, stomping, kneeling or sitting on a victim, or biting and shaking and throwing. Lethal mechanisms include hemorrhage from vascular injuries and internal organ disruption, crush asphyxia, and blunt craniospinal injuries. Death may also follow falls from camels or vehicle collisions.

Camels also carry a wide range of zoonotic diseases, the most significant of which is Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome. Handling of camels may also exacerbate underlying organic illnesses such as cardiac disease. Those working with camels should be aware that the size, strength, and temperament of these animals may make them dangerous and that they also carry potentially lethal zoonotic diseases.

they say loose, have not found out why.

from horses, sometimes they lean against fencing until it goes down or low enough for them to step over.

or the gate was not latched properly

 Quoting: M R E


you are right

maybe the camels got out and they were trying to get one or both of them back in.



once 2 horses were walking down the road followed closely by a minivan.
the van was trying to push them - GENTLY - towards a field with horses in it.

the 2 loose horses did walk toward the strange herd and were "rounded up" by 2 friendly humans

who got them into a riding ring, gave them water and hay and called around to see who was missing a couple critters...

it ended well
that evening the owner came by with a van and picked them up.
