Camel's Testicles Bitten By Woman at Louisiana Truck Stop Petting Zoo
By Robert Gearty | Fox News
A woman bit a camel’s testicles at a Louisiana truck stop petting zoo -- and was cited for criminal trespassing, according to reports.
The woman,
a Florida resident, was chasing her dog when she crawled into Caspar’s enclo- sure at the Tiger Truck Stop on I-10 in Grosse Tete, The Baton Rouge Advocate reported Sunday.
She told deputies she bit the 600-
pound camel when he sat on her. It happened Thursday.
“She said: ‘I bit his b---- to get him off of me, I bit his testicles to get him off of me,’” Iberville Parish Deputy Louis Hamilton Jr. told the paper.
The woman was brought to a hos- pital.
Deputies gave her and her hus- band summonses on the trespass- ing charge and for not having their dog on a leash, The Advocate report- ed.
“The camel did nothing wrong,” Hamilton told the paper. “They were aggressive. The camel was just doing its normal routine.”
The truck stop once had a tiger, provoking contro- versy.
Pamela Bossier, who manages the truck stop, said the tiger had never attacked anyone, nor have the zoo’s other wild animals, including Caspar.
“He’s really a gentle giant,” she told the paper about the camel.
German Court Rules Hangover Is An ‘Illness'
A German court has ruled hang- overs are an "ill- ness", in a case against the maker of an anti- hangover drink.
The firm was taken to court in Frankfurt after being accused of making illegal health claims about its anti- hangover shots and drinks pow- ders.
In its ruling, the court said illness- es included even small or tempo- rary changes to the body's nor- mal state.
Food products, including drinks, cannot be mar- keted as being able to prevent or treat illnesses, it added.
"Information about a food product cannot ascribe any prop- erties for prevent- ing, treating or healing a human illness or give the impression of such a property," the superior regional court's ruling said.
"By an illness, one should understand even small or tempo- rary disruptions
to the normal state or normal activity of the body."
This, it said, includes the tiredness, nau- sea and headaches com- monly associated with hangovers - and which the company, which was not named in the ruling, claimed its shots and powders could cure.
The ruling comes just days after the annual Oktoberfest beer festival kicked off in Munich.
