look what this Camel did!
Quote:
A woman in Australia has been killed by her pet camel after the animal may have tried to have sex with her.
The woman was found dead at the family's sheep and cattle ranch near the town of Mitchell in Queensland.
The woman had been given the camel as a 60th birthday present earlier this year because of her love of exotic pets.
The camel was just 10 months old but already weighed 152kg (336lbs) and had come close to suffocating the family's pet goat on a number of occasions.
On Saturday, the woman apparently became the object of the male camel's desire.
It knocked her to the ground, lay on top of her and displayed what the police delicately described as possible mating behaviour.
"I'd say it's probably been playing, or it may be even a sexual sort of thing," the Associated Press news agency quoted Queensland police Detective Senior Constable Craig Gregory as saying. Young camels are not normally aggressive but can become more threatening if treated and raised as pets.
And then i found this......

Camel attacks are becoming a serious problem nowadays. Every year, approximately 23.7 people are being attacked by camels, and some of them might not even be aware of that.
That's what this short guide was written for - to assist all those people who might be attacked by camels, or who think they might have been attacked by a camel and are not sure.
Don't become another statistic - read the Camel Attack Guide today!
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]How to know if you have encountered a camel
[/FONT]
Camels mostly live around the area of the Middle east and North Africa. If you are not in these parts, most chances are the animal you have encountered is not a camel. Either way, you want to ask yourself the following questions:
Is it a largish animal with ridiculously long legs, a hump on its back and a light-brown colour?
Camels are about 2m high, and are amazingly well-adapted to life in the desert. If the answer to any of the details in the question above is "no", the animal standing in front of you is not a camel, but something else. A dog, perhaps?
Does the animal have antlers?
If the answer to this question is "yes", you are probably standing in front of a moose, which is totally different from a camel.
Once you have established the identity of the animal, you can move to the next step.
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]What next?
[/FONT]
The next questions you should ask yourself are:
Is the camel looking at you?
Is it a tourist camel?
If the camel has a large fancy-looking saddle on its hump, reins decorated with all sorts of jingling bells and a person standing near its head and charging money for taking a picture of you on the camel's back, it is not likely to attack you.
Is the camel moving? Is it standing up at all?
This is a very important point. Camels can move pretty fast, but once they have laid themselves down they don't like getting up again, so they do not pose a threat. Camels might also be tied, in which case they move much slower.
Does the camel appear mad?
Another important point. Camels usually have sort of a bored contemptuous expression. If the camel looks mad[FONT=Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT], it probably is. In that case it is best to back away carefully, as fast as you can.
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Oh my god, a camel is charging towards me, what do I do? [/FONT]
Run as fast as you can towards the closest shelter - a car, a bus, anything that might be camel-proof, and preferably something that can be driven far away from there.
Try deceiving the camel by throwing things at it. If you happen to be wearing a straw hat, now would be a good time to let it go once and for all. The same thing goes for any food you might be carrying on you. Do not throw your camera, you will need it!
Once you are safely inside the bus (or whatever shelter you have), and before you take off, pull out your camera.
Take a picture of the raging camel - better take more than one picture, just to be on the safe side.
After all, if you don't have a picture of an insane drooling camel trying to break through the bus window, who is ever going to believe your story?
and this was all on the BBC news website, who said news wasnt fun any more:laugh_at: :laugh_at: raaa

My request: The Media Standards Trust is inviting comments about this week's media coverage of 'yob culture' in Britain.
Do you think news stories about 'anarchy in the UK' and the growing problem of youth crime present a realistic picture of Britain today or have the media latched onto a small number of incidents and over-emphasised their significance?
Please email me or leave a comment at www.mediastandardstrust.org.

Why MY Illegal Free Party Days Are Over from the EDP website....
After a mob attack on Great Yarmouth police station in the early hours of Sunday morning, officers were sent to a rave on Hafrey's Industrial Estate.
Norfolk police chief last night pledged a tough crackdown on illegal raves after an event in Yarmouth led to a 100-strong angry mob attacking the town's police station.
Norfolk's new deputy chief constable said “sinister elements” were responsible as youngsters hurled beer cans and bottles at officers and tried to storm the police station after sound equipment destined for their rave on the town's Harfrey's industrial estate was seized.
As the mob swarmed over the fence of the station yard in Howard Street North shortly after midnight yesterday one officer suffered a head wound from a flying beer can and two patrol cars were damaged.
Reinforcements for the handful of officers inside the station were swiftly called from as far afield as Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex.
Witnesses from flats opposite yesterday incredulously relived what they described as “riot scenes” with police dogs barking and the sound of bottles smashing.

Hours later, the bloody scenes escalated even further at the scene of the rave - about two miles away on the industrial estate - as revellers attacked police with bricks, bottles, cans and planks of wood stolen from a nearby yard. One officer was even left with shards of bottle glass in his visa.
Police, numbering more than 100 at the height of operations, responded in riot gear and used CS spray to force out some 300 revellers who had barricaded themselves in a factory yard.
As one more officer was injured, requiring hospital treatment, and two more vehicles were badly damaged, operational commander Supt Jo Parrett justified the use of riot gear and CS spray as “an appropriate response to a very violent and volatile incident”.
Police seized 44 of the revellers' cars for evidence and made nearly 20 initial arrests on suspicion of a variety of offences, including violent disorder, possession of drugs and burglary.
Deputy Chief Constable Ian Learmonth, who joined Norfolk police this month from Strathclyde, said: “By attacking the police station, the organisers of this event have shown a total disregard for the rule of law.
Police monitor ravers as they leave the warehouse.

“The strong message I want to put across is that we are not going to put up with this in Norfolk. Our citizens don't want that, our businesses don't want that and we certainly don't want that.
“If you are planning to organise an unlicensed musical event in this county, expect us to turn up, take away your kit and pursue a prosecution.
“We have seen some really sinister elements tonight, following a police car back to the station and besieging the station. We will not tolerate that behaviour.”
He warned that if follow-up inquires identified further offences police would be actively pursuing the perpetrators.
Supt Parrett said patrol officers had stopped a white Ford Transit van carrying the sound equipment to the Harfrey's industrial estate at about 11.30pm on Saturday as part of a routine operation to check for stolen scrap metal.

The three occupants ran off but were caught and arrested and brought back to Yarmouth police station along with the sound equipment.
She said: “Other revellers who were gathering at the site formed a convoy with their vehicles and tried to stop the police car leaving with the sound equipment.
“Their actions constituted unacceptable behaviour and appalling driving, putting innocent members of the public at risk.”
She said the revellers began to demonstrate outside the police station and by 12.30am there were well over 100 of them throwing bottles and full cans of beer.
“People were coming over the wall at the back of the police station, two police cars were damaged and an officer was struck on the head by a can,” she said.
There were only a few officers inside the station but reinforcements were called from across the region, and about 25 special constables volunteered for duty.
She said: “We have shown that we will mobilise any resources to deal with unacceptable behaviour and we will deal with it effectively.”
As station reinforcements arrived, the revellers were forced back by 1am and police attention turned to the compound around the company Thermaglow, on Harfrey's industrial estate, where the rave had got under way.
Supt Parrett said: “We kept a seal on it throughout the night and as we were able to get an effective amount of resources we moved in to disperse them.
“As well as all the sound equipment, a number of vehicles were seized, and it is possible some of these will be crushed. We are looking at every power to dispose of these vehicles.”
With a bank holiday approaching, she made a plea to businesses and farms across the county to remain vigilant and block easy accesses that could be used by revellers.
Residents in flats in Howard Street North, overlooking the police station, were yesterday still in shock after witnessing the night's events.
Alma Kane, 65, said: “The noise was so bad I could not sleep. I got up to find out what was happening and I was shocked to see a riot going on with youths shouting and messing around and police dogs barking. I thought someone must have been stabbed or something.”
Neighbour Shaun Seakins said: “Police were lined up, about 20 of them, protecting the station. There was a tremendous noise with cheering, shouting and bottles smashing.”
An area of Howard Street North remained cordoned off for several hours yesterday morning as scenes-of-crime officers inspected the scene and gathered about 20 objects that had been used as missiles12

Rave investigators hunting 12 men
These men are wanted in connection with a violent rave
A nationwide search is under way for 12 men wanted in connection with an illegal rave where 64 police officers and a sniffer dog were injured.
Since the rave on farmland at Great Chesterford near Saffron Walden in Essex on 25 August last year 24 people have been arrested.
Essex police have now issued posters of 12 more men they want to track down.
Their faces will be displayed across England and the case will feature on BBC's Crimewatch programme.
More than 600 people revellers had turned up for the rave and when police tried to break it up violence erupted.
These men's faces will appear on posters across England
Essex police said that many officers feared for their lives when they were attacked with broken bottles and scaffold poles.
One police officer lost a finger which was cut off during the scuffles.
Essex Police have started an appeal to find a further 12 suspects.
Those already arrested came from all over England including Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Norfolk, Surrey, Lincolnshire, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Middlesex, London and Essex.
Essex Police need to identify 12 men all of whom are suspected of being involved in serious violent disorder.
obviously they were many ravers at fault, but from what i've heard about it also cops were abusin powers as well, maybe they will be investigated but i doubt it!
