Feral camels in South Australia are set to be exterminated in to halt them drinking too much water as dehydration and fires consume the country.
More than 10,000 camels will be shot by expert shooters in helicopters starting Wednesday, following an order from Aboriginal leaders in the South Australian region.
Locals from nearby communities have been protesting the feral creatures have been penetrating homes to find water.
Authorities are also worried the animals are contributing to global warming as they emit methane equivalent to one tonne of carbon dioxide a year, Daily Mail reported.
