    I was in the ER with my son the day this happened. A Safari park rep was on the phone with their attorney saying “we aren’t going to pay for this. We aren’t liable” while the girl was still bleeding profusely.
    Guess what? Yes you are and yes you will!!

    A park rep went in person to the ER to tell an attorney by phone, while the girl was bleeding (in what sounds like plain view of everyone), that they weren’t going to pay for any of it? On what planet was all of this?

        Now I’m confused bud. Are you talking about Michele’s story or is that a barb against me for being skeptical?

          it was a barb directed at the agent who has been posting here for years. clearly that’s not you because he never called me bud and never asked such a simple (not dumb or stupid, just simple) question

      Hey fake agent, it is not nice or courteous to use my moniker to post things I didn’t say. That only encourages the attack dog confused to start his tirade. Try a different moniker next time.

    Also, you’re saying they got a lawyer in the time between the bite and the ER and were talking damages with the park before she had even stopped bleeding? And the rep was arguing all of it right there in the ER in full earshot of everyone? Sorry, this account just has an air of sensation about it is all.

    Of course they have to pay, this is America!
    When will we stop torturing animals so we can gawk at them at the zoo? We force the camel to be there – Camels may bite!
    Sad the ten year old was hurt for sure – but she was on the camel’s turf. What’s a camel to do?

    It’s too bad that she suffered the injury, which sounds very painful. However, it turns out to be a great college savings plan for her.

        Camels are nasty animals who not only bite, but also spit in the face of people trying to pet them. No wonder they are popular in the nasty Middle East.

          Agent here. I don’t know who all these other Agents are on here but I’d just as soon not be associated with ignorant dribble like this latest post. So if you would all kindly knock it off that would be appreciated.

          I believe that the spitting is the work of llamas, not camels.

    Not a Camel or Virginia Slims fan. But I did use to smoke Marlboros.
