Caspar the camel replaces Grosse Tete truck stop's Tony the tiger

Caspar the camel has taken the place of Tony the tiger — for now.
With state laws preventing him from obtaining another exotic cat after Tony's death in October, the owner of a landmark Iberville Parish truck stop says he intends to continue fighting for what he considers the tiger's rightful successor. Animal rights groups have expressed adamant opposition, and the conflict is playing out in court.
In the meantime, Michael Sandlin has settled for Caspar, who was moved into Tony's old enclosure earlier this week. Sandlin said the camel is five months old but is nonetheless large because "they grow up fast."
The camel came with another baby exotic animal: a coati, which is a member of the raccoon family native to South and Central America. His name is Cody and he's two months old.
Sandlin said he might bring in more animals in the coming months as he is considering expanding his facilities and creating a petting zoo attraction for children, starting with "Caspar the friendly white camel."

They say everyone stops in just to see the toes.
Also of note, apparently two hump camels are expensive as frick.

But they are fine with the camel? Speciesists.

You only put up a picture of the white animal and not Cody as he has some black in him? You racist son of a bitch.

That's how you do it. Novelty animals and a good plate lunch.

Always wanted to let that tiger loose. I'll look into the same with this camel.

Oh, for fricks sake, why do you have to put another animal at a damn truck stop?
It's stupid.
Say what you want, but it's not in the best interest of the camel to live among diesel fumes the rest of it's life.

That would have not ended well for you. Posted on 7/21/18 at 10:19 pm to trom83
Before he gets new animals and expands, he needs to worry about cleaning the fricking bathrooms there.
He don't need some shite like that to draw in business. If you are going east, it's the next gas station after the Breaux Bridge exit (i think). People go there, not because they want to, but because it's "the next stop". Oh and it has an area for truckers to park and sleep.
This dude is a jackass. Put the camel in the same cage as the tiger? He is a dreamer.

I'm not some SJW but this is wrong. They aren't equipped to care for these exotic animals.
