AUSTRALIAN authorities plan to corral about 6,000 wild camels with helicopters and gun them down after they overran a small Outback town in search of water, trampling fences, smashing tanks and contaminating supplies.
The Northern Territory government announced its plan on Wednesday for Docker River, a town of 350 residents where thirsty camels have been arriving daily for weeks for drought conditions.
"The community of Docker River is under siege by 6,000 marauding, wild camels," local government minister Rob Knight said in Alice Springs, 500 kilometers northeast of Docker. "This is a very critical situation out there, it's very unusual and it needs urgent action."
