Camel: The New White Meat
Friday, March 30, 2007
It's not just for bedouins anymore.A local council in the eastern Australian state of Queensland is considering building a camel abattoir to cash in on a growing demand for camel meat.
Bulloo Shire Council is working with the Department of Primary Industries and a regional economic development group to investigate the feasibility of establishing a multi-million dollar facility to process the animals.
Recent reports indicate that feral camel numbers in outback Australia are rising, and that the animals are having an increasingly negative impact on the environment.
A taskforce set up to consider the issue has suggested culling may be necessary to reduce numbers.
Its recommendations included the use of camel meat for human consumption or pet food.
