They collapse when the fat inside them gets used up. Its a natural occurance and its literally what the humps are for in the first place. Getting upset over it is like getting upset that your lunch box is empty cuz you ate the food inside it.

Sugar Rush I agree, and plus there is such h thing as being kind but also being able to stand up for yourself at the same time

[@runway5338]

Sugar Rush that’s when you put them at their place. You can be kind but also be strong and not tolerate being stepped on. It doesn’t equate to retaliating in violence or cursing, since that’s no longer being kind. Plenty of ppl are *able to put someone in check and still act w/ class and integrity. It’s not easy, but it’s shows a good character and social consciousness. Edit: *

And I would join you because camels are precious creatures and deserve to be loved. also fun fact camels have the same disposition as dogs they love to be cuddled and stroked

[@shawnaellcey6970]

Camels are intelligent and emotional. Yes, they do foam at the mouth due to stress and they do tell you they are scared or unhappy. You hear all these camel jokes about them spitting- but camels are very communicative and are gentle giants. So, yes, he was whimpering like a puppy.

*THIS!

[@shaunbang]

Aww this lady seems like such a good person. It really was sad seeing her emotional when he was being sent to the sanctuary :( I’ll never understand how rescuers and fosters are able to handle the separation from animals that they nurture back to health and life. I don’t think I would have the gall to be able to separate from them and want to keep all of the animals I fostered which I know I can’t because I won’t have enough space and not be able to help other animals

[@mehere8038]

I'm a wildlife rescuer. It can be hard, especially for ones that you worry for whatever reason may struggle to survive after release, but ultimately, the reason I & others like me do it is cause we know they belong in the wild & that's what we're going to get them back to & there's various ways that we hear how at least some of them are doing later & it's always rewarding to know they have such a full & happy life cause of what you've done for them :) One bird I had, I was doing exercise/wing strengthening work with him & was just about to finish off for the day, cause I could see he was ready to fly properly & so needed a couple of days to rest & let the soreness from that exercise subside before release, but he took off & I couldn't grab him in time. I worried about that one, cause he really wasn't quite ready & the plan was to "soft release" with supplemental food for a couple of weeks to make sure he survived, but when he escaped, it meant he didn't want to come back, cause he thought he'd be caged again & had decided he wanted to be free (as he was born), so I really did worry about him & thought he'd probably died. Anyway, about a week later, there was a mega storm & the next morning when I went outside, there he was, sitting inside the cage he'd been in with me lol. Since I didn't have any other animals in it, I'd left the door open, so he'd gone inside & was sitting there in the safety of the cage, with a roof over his head lol. Guess he didn't like the storm. I gave him a feed & he sat in there for a few hours before coming back out of the cage & exploring the yard. He kept hiding in the cage for the next few weeks, but eventually he settled down & moved into a local tree & after a few more weeks, he found another of my rescue birds he liked & so they paired up & went off together. They still kept coming back for daily feeds for a month or so but then stopped that & just came back when it had been raining & so there wasn't so much nectar around & just to say "hello" as well. So that one was great for me, cause even one I'd really worried about & thought hadn't made it had & he was clearly happy with his wild life. He enjoyed the chance to get a free feed after his rescue, but ultimately he didn't want to be a pet or caged or in my care forever, he wanted his freedom & had a great & happy life, cause of me giving him that chance of helping him to recover from a serious concussion & head injury from flying into a window

For those who noticed this ranch is called the Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch. Cleveland Amory was a well known writer and reporter who basically was the founder of the modern animal rights and protection movement. He named the ranch after the book 'Black Beauty'. It is over 1400 acres and houses all kinds of animals. Cleveland got his love of animals from his aunt in early childhood. He bought the first ship for the Sea Shepherd Organization to help stop Japanese whaling murders. He founded and funded multiple animal charities throughout the world. He died in 1998. His life was extremely interesting and he wrote three books about his cat called Polar Bear. If you love animals try to research him or get one of his books it will be a rewarding experience.

[@mehere8038]

depends how they're run. Nothing wrong with properly run petting zoos, they're a way for kids to experience animals & learn to love them, which in turn will lead to them funding animal rescues & caring for animals as they get older. The ones where I am at least always make sure the animals needs are respected, that they get enough time away from kids when they need it & they make sure kids understand the rules of no running, squealing, grabbing the animals etc & make sure there's ample food available in cups that the kids can hold, so as to encourage interactions in a way the animals like & they either have plenty of animals, so that the animals are fighting for the chance to get the food & interact with the kids, rather than the other way around, or they limit the number of kids allowed in at any given time, so as to achieve the same result & they also have appropriate species of animals, including a dog or 2 that can handle non-stop patting & cuddles

That harness has probably been on him for so long that he probably thought they were removing a part of his mouth and face at first and then when he felt that everything was ok he was relieved,so glad that bubba is now safe from abuse and will get to live his life on his terms (kinda) and can please himself in what he does,he's gorgeous and so gentle,I hope he has a long life!

@@cscoetzee I never noticed he had different ones one but even though they changed them,he still had a harness on constantly and as the video shows they never fully remove them until the point where he is at the rescue centre so my point is still valid in that he probably felt strange when the harness fully came off and it wasn't replaced,it's like when you remove your dogs collar and they go frantic until it or another one is placed around their neck again,they get used to the feel of these things and it's weird when removed
