The word play already started with London Metro headline for the article something like "Woman humped to death by camel"
-
On the radio, it ws said that the camel was trying to mate with the owner and it had also tried the same with the goat. This is not a wind up, it is purely what the radio report said, however it does open up a whole can of worms regarding humps (& associated words)!!

I am not sure, but that is what made me laugh. I bet the goat is really nervous when he sees a camel now.

They said the 10-month-old pet had a history of bizarre behaviour - it had attempted to suffocate the family's pet goat on numerous occasions.
Sorry, I am not being insensitive am I?

Pet camel kills owner
A pet camel that killed a 60-year-old woman in Queensland's outback was a birthday present from her family, police say.
The woman's body was found on their sheep and cattle property near Mitchell, about 600 kilometres west of Brisbane, about 6.30pm yesterday.
Police said the camel had knocked her to the ground, stomped on her and then lain down on top of her.
They said the 10-month-old pet had a history of bizarre behaviour - it had attempted to suffocate the family's pet goat on numerous occasions.
Roma police Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Gregory said the victim's husband was "devastated".
"The camel was actually a 60th birthday present that he and his daughter got her in March," he said.
"She had a love of exotic pets."
Senior Sergeant Gregory said the victim, who had yet to be formally identified, had been knocked over by the camel, which then "rolled around the ground a bit".
"It's either smothered her or brought on a (heart) turn," he said.
A post-mortem examination is expected to be carried out early this week.
