A camel? Really? A camel? In the city limits? What type of permit did that require? Or, since it was on "church" grounds, no permit required, separation between church and state you know. But a camel? Was it vaccinated? Is there camel rabies? And someone kissing it? Good lawd! What next? Chickens allowed in yards?
