US: Woman bites camel at truck stop Petting Zoo to get him off her
According to reports, a woman bit a camel at a truck stop petting zoo to free herself from a camel after she broke into its pen & found herself trapped under it
According to reports, a woman bit a camel at a Louisiana truck stop petting zoo.
The incident happened in the US State of Louisiana at a petting zoo when a couple crawled into the camel's enclosure. The camel had sat on the woman, and in the spur of the moment to free herself, she bit the camel. The incident has gone viral with netizens in a tizzy and wondering how could this happen in the first place.
The 'camel-bite' incident
Caspar the camel is kept as an attraction at the Tiger Truck Stop Petting Zoo, in Louisiana.
Iberville Parish Sheriff's office documents, reportedly, on September 23 pinned the blame on a Florida duo Gloria and Edmond Lancaster of tossing treats for their unshackled dog into Caspar the camel's pound at Tiger Truck Stop. The dog had run into the enclosure, and the couple had crawled underneath the wire fence to retrieve it disregarding the 'No Trespassing' signs, instead of asking for help from the truck stop restaurant.
The duo apparently then told deputies that camel had ambushed the dog but the sheriff's office said that duo had provoked the animal by entering its enclosure. The animal defended itself in the only way it could, by sitting on Gloria. Gloria later revealed to officers that she had to bite the camel to release herself from under it.
The truck stop manager Pamela Bossier was baffled by the whole situation.
Incident sends Netizens into a tizzy
Meanwhile, the incident has gone viral on social media and sent Netizens into a tizzy who say as to what have they just saw.
Pamela Bossier, truck stop manager, later reported that a veterinarian issued Caspar antibiotics after the incident as a precaution.
