Woman bites camels testicles to escape enclosure after being sat on at truck stop zoo in Louisiana
A woman bit a camel's testicles after the 600-pound animal sat on her in its enclosure at a Louisiana truck stop, according to authorities.
She had entered the enclosure in an attempt to retrieve her dog, according to the Advocate newspaper. The womans husband had been throwing treats under the camels fence at Tiger Truck Stop in Grosse Tete, igniting last weeks bizarre incident.
The camel did nothing wrong, Iberville Parish Deputy Louis Hamilton Jr. told the Advocate. They (the couple) were aggressive. The camel was just doing its normal routine.
After the woman and her husband both crawled into the enclosure, the camel, called Caspar, took issue with their presence and apparently sat on her.

any women into your enclosure. Innocent camels must be protected from these kind of attacks!

I never understood why people would want to see that. The station owner had signs about his court victories against PETA and others and was trying to raise money to continue legal fights.
They should spend money on their outdoor bathrooms which are the worst ever and leave animals alone.

Or maybe not.
"Then there was that time when that camel sat on me and I bit his balls to get him off me. Haw, haw, haw..."

The Florida couple ignored warning signs, and Bossier said they should have asked for help. They were cited for a leash law violation.
"My only question to her husband was: Why did you throw the doggy treat under the fence? Hamilton told the Advocate. And he just said, I wasnt thinking.

To cross something off of your bucket list, you gotta take it. And, that's not a reference to her climbing into the enclosure.
