Original title: in order to protect drinking water resources, Australia plans to shoot tens of thousands of wild camels
Beijing, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) according to a comprehensive report, in order to prevent wild camels from occupying valuable drinking water resources in arid areas, Australia's South Australia will hunt and kill tens of thousands of wild camels from the 8th.
According to the order of Australian Aboriginal Anangu Aboriginal leaders, professional gunmen will take helicopters to shoot more than 10000 wild camels from the air from the 8th. The whole process is expected to last for five days.
It is reported that because the fart emitted by these wild camels is equivalent to 1 ton of carbon dioxide every year, relevant departments are worried that they will exacerbate global warming. Anan gupiqian Chiara yankuni Chiara (apy) hopes to get the government's reward in reducing carbon emissions by shooting wild camels.
However, the Department of energy and environment said that carbon emissions from wildlife should not be considered in a country's carbon emission valuation because they are not under domestic management.
In addition, local residents also complained that wild camels invaded their homes in search of water.
Baker, member of the apy land Executive Committee, said, "we have been trapped in a hot and smelly environment and feel very uncomfortable because camels will push down the fence and enter around the house to try to get water through air conditioning."
The Australian wild camel management project (nfcmp) points out that if control measures are not implemented, the number of wild camels in Australia will double every nine years.
