How To Keep a Camel From Running Away

Matt of Where the Hell is Matt? fame snapped this photo of two camels in a desert somewhere who have their front leg tied to their snout. According to the kids on digg, this is to keep them from running away. (I couldn’t find the original post on Matt’s site where this picture originated.) Slightly cruel? Perhaps. But effective? For sure. What else are you going to do when there are no trees to tie your camel to?
