    Never let children get too close to the animals even if they are in a cage. Every now and then you hear a story and its really dangerous.

    Thanks for stating the obvious..

    unfortunately it is not that obvious there are many foolish people, sometimes even aggravating lions or tigers and sometimes they pay the ultimate price.

    However this case it a little different since camels are pretty docile and I do not think meat is on their menu
