Livestock of the future has hump | The Australian
[Dr Tinson] says camels are ideally placed to become "the new livestock animal" as countries like Australia become hotter and drier with global warming.[Left-wing climate believers turn violent?]
...
Under Dr Tinson's direction, the 20-year-old centre is completing construction of facilities for diagnostics, embryo transfer, surgery, exercise physiology and food production and analysis.
It will accommodate up to 1000 camels, offering a camel exercise pool, two treadmills, and a 9km desert racing track, not to mention filtered drinking water and imported lucernes for the pampered animals.
Protesters sought to deliver a symbolic decommission notice to those inside the station, on grounds it is a big carbon polluter and could be assisting catastrophic climate change.Flashback: Gore urges civil disobedience to stop coal plants | Green Business | Reuters

Over two hours, 22 protesters made individual attempts to infiltrate the plant, with police becoming involved in numerous minor scuffles.
Twenty-one protesters are likely to face trespass charges, while one man may face more serious charges after being interviewed last night for allegedly assaulting a police officer.
Allegedly, the female officer was thrown backwards when trying to subdue the man after he jumped the fence.
"If you're a young person looking at the future of this planet and looking at what is being done right now, and not done, I believe we have reached the stage where it is time for civil disobedience to prevent the construction of new coal plants that do not have carbon capture and sequestration," Gore told the Clinton Global Initiative gathering to loud applause.
"I believe for a carbon company to spend money convincing the stock-buying public that the risk from the global climate crisis is not that great represents a form of stock fraud because they are misrepresenting a material fact," he said. "I hope these state attorney generals around the country will take some action on that."
