2007-08-19 | |||
Hundreds of camels have died in Saudi Arabia this week from a mystery ailment. The Agriculture Ministry has said 232 camels died in the space of four days in the Dawasir Valley, 400 km (250 miles) south of Riyadh. King Abdullah has promised compensation for owners, who say the real number of deaths is far higher.

#13 Saudi Toxicologists have preliminary data that the deceased camels had all purchased their tooth paste from the same Chinese distributor. |

#10 Camel flu??? My first guess would be complications due to poor genetic security due to forced interbreeding for the sake of mass production. Too close genetic ancestry > weak or poor resistance to diseases. |

#2 Ahmanutjob must have done it. But I would never have guessed that camels could get AIDS by receiving oral $ex. |
