Camel Cull
|
Estimates of the number of camels in the Northern Territory vary from a couple of hundred thousand to 600,000 plus.
Whatever the number it's a lot, and the Territory's Parks and Wildlife Service is preparing the ground for a cull, as the big ruminants put mounting pressure on the environment.
We speak to Neil Waters, who co-owns and runs Camels Australia, a camel safari business and small camel dairy at Stuart's Well outside Alice Springs.
