'When you antagonize enough, they are going to strike back,' said Pamela Bossier, the manager of the Tiger Truck Stop in Grosse Tete, where the incident occurred.
The Tiger Truck Stop's manager, Pamela Bossier, told local media the man made the situation worse by making threatening gestures at the camel with his hat. She stressed that the couple should have asked for help in the stop's restaurant, which she said is always staffed.
"First of all, they went and trespassed. After they trespassed then they proceed to antagonize something that big," Bossier said, motioning toward the large animal. "When you antagonize enough, they are going to strike back. It all could have been prevented with a few steps to the restaurant, there's always employees and [it is] open 24 hours."
The camel, which was not injured, has lived on the grounds of the Iberville Parish truck stop since last year, where the owners also keep a miniature horse and a baby kangaroo as part of a small petting zoo. The area was previously home to a tiger. The Tiger Truck Stop owners were not cited as the enclosure included numerous signs warning citizens to stay out of the pen. When questioned by police about why he had hurled dog treats into the area, the husband claimed that he"wasn't thinking,"A dromedary stands in it enclosure on August 23, 2011 at the"ZOOM" zoo in Gelsenkirchen, western Germany.
