The Law

In the mid-1800s, the U.S. military created the Camel Corps, importing camels to traverse the arid Southwestern deserts. After the project was abandoned, the camels were released into the wild, prompting locals to hunt them. The state eventually banned the practice to protect the remaining wandering dromedaries.
