   This is something that would go through my mind in a flash. I have to struggle to keep it as an inside voice. Especially when I am looking at some of the girlfriends of my friends.

  I love camels - but not wild camels ... have you ever been bucked off a wild camel??? - well let me tell ya - it doesn't take long and you are really high up.  

  Camel humps as you know are made up of fatty tissue - a bit like ... well the female mammary gland ... now the camels that i rode were in outer mongolia and still had thier winter coat -  imagine if you will .... sitting between two HUGE hairy mamary glands, hugging one of them for support - or leaning backon the other for a rest. I'll let you decide for yourself if that is a good thing ...

  Wild horses and muskoxen are my favorite wild animals.

 I was at this VERY WEIRD game farm it had a camel in the same enclosure it was odd.  the deer would sneak up and poke the camel - the camel would spin around and chase the deer away it was odd.


  not sure if the camel had anything else in mind ?!?!?

It depends on what it was poked with.

I think with antlers - it was a FAMILY oriented game farm -
Such an odd place - there was a small bear teathered at the front gate - with a sign "wrestle me"
There was a freezer full of donuts/ muffines etc... with a sign "feed the animals" so you could toss a lion a choc covered donut ... not sure that is part of their regular diet on the Serengetti but ...

Yeah - a very far and exotic place just north of Calgary.
Google "Gazoo Three Hills Alberta".
They escaped prosecution for years because the owner didn't charge to get in ... it was donation only.  After anumberof years they had to change some things but i believe it is still open.  There are hundreds of complaintsby spca, wspca, a halfdozen other agencies, animal lovers, and concerned citizens.

I went with LM and a friend who was a primary school teacher - we went to scope the place out for a potential field trip for grade three students !!!!!! (she didn't take them.)
Wild cats teathered in the open ... dining on a carcas ... :oh look at the pretty kitty" the child would say running towrds it ...
the bear enclosure was a single fence with holes big enough to stick your arm through - "let's pet the pretty bear - oh my is that Billy's arm he's chewing on....

I wish i were making this up.

OMG. What are you doing around here, VG? It's like 5.51am in the morning! *yawn* Oh, I forgot, you're in Vietnam.

  That's kinda sad to hear about those animals, VG. Those people should know better than to treat them like that.

  I can't see the pics. Are they naughty?

Yeah it's 8PM here.
Yeah you would think - but the owner thought of himself as a bit of an expert !!! He thought he knew best.
Sorry to dissapoint - no naughty.  I'm just new at posting pics.  Plus google is in Vietnamese - so maybe something got lost in the translation??

Ha - i think i figured it out ...

OMG.  Not only are they still open, but apparently it's licensed ?  

  [FONT face=Verdana]Hello Friend, and welcome.  My name is Irene and I want to tell you about our farm.  [FONT size=3 editor_id="mce_editor_0"]18 Years ago, a silly man got a wonderful idea...and Guzoo was born!  In 1990 the GuZoo became a licensed zoo under the government of Alberta. Since then the GuZoo has grown to become Canada's largest private zoo (as quoted by The National Post).  A private zoo means it is privately owned and funded (no government funding).[/FONT][/FONT]

Lise - have you seen Equilibrium?  Christian Bale is pretty wild there.  I bet you could tame him.

Haha. Nope, can't see the pics.

  Oh ja, Ms. purelife. I've seen the movie Equilibrium. Kinda weird, matrix-like but man..... CB was mighty fine in there. Ye Gods, I need a stiff drink after watching him. (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)

  Didn't like him in that stupid dragon movie.
