Allthough some can see it potentially as cash crop that can sustain livelihood of civillizations and give birth to multiple industries. In australia they consider the camel to be a "plague" and set out killing them.

Camels can take in more than 50 gallons of water in three minutes from waterholes and have been known to pull pipes and air-conditioning units off walls and break plumbing systems. They are able to eat high up into trees and their feeding has resulted in some plant species becoming locally extinct; they have damaged sites of cultural significance to aboriginal people. As camels have no natural predators in Australia, they have a low mortality rate.

A 2011 study by the Australian government’s Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, described camels as a major source of greenhouse gas emissions with each camel estimated to produce 100 pounds of methane a year. But camel experts have countered that these findings as “false and stupid… a scientific aberration.”

Private contractors have been shooting the camels from helicopters, with the carcasses left to rot in the desert. ”Eradication” of camels is ” not the goal, and it could never be achieved in any case,” the Australian government’s AFCMP website claims. Its purpose (couched in proper bureaucratese) is to “reduce the density of feral camels to a level where their negative impacts are within acceptable limits.
