Yep. Floriduh man and his wife. Unbelievable. Here is the story:

A bizarre encounter unfolded at the Tiger Truck Stop in Grosse Tete last week when a Florida truck driver and her husband crawled into a camel's enclosure at the truck stop, and the camel sat on the woman, who bit the camel's testicles to escape.

According to the Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office, the woman's husband threw doggy treats under Caspar the camel's fence, which is about 6 feet high.

The Sheriff's Office said surveillance video showed the couple's dog crawled into the pen to retrieve the treats and began interacting with the camel. The woman crawled in to recover her pet and her husband followed behind.

The camel sat on the woman and she bit the animal, a male dromedary, to get it off of her, the Sheriff's Office said.

She said, ‘I bit his balls to get him off of me, I bit his testicles to get him off of me,” Iberville Parish Deputy Louis Hamilton Jr. said.

The truck stop, located 20 minutes outside of Baton Rouge, keeps a camel named Caspar and for many years controversially kept a tiger for visitors to see on-site. Traveling with her husband, the woman stopped at the truck stop, and let her dog out to use the bathroom.

The truck stop was not found liable for any of the injuries as the camel was properly enclosed and warning signs instructed visitors not to enter the pen, officials said.

“The camel has never been aggressive, the camel has never gotten out, never caused any issues — in fact, the husband and wife stated before that we’ve been here before and we’ve never had any problems,” Hamilton said.

"No trespassing" signs are posted every 10 feet on the enclosure's fence.

The couple were both cited for a leash law violation and criminal trespassing.

In Louisiana, the law states that “no person shall permit any dog in his or her possession to run at large on any unenclosed land, or trespass upon any enclosed or unenclosed lands of another.”

The Grosse Tete truck stop has been fending off animal rights activists for years who wanted a tiger whow was once caged there removed from its property. The tiger died last year after 17 years living in captivity. The truck stop also keeps a coati (a member of the raccoon family) on-site.

The deputy said he was baffled by the entire incident and by the couple's behavior.

"And my only question to her husband was, ‘Why did you throw the doggy treat under the fence?’ Hamilton explained. “And he just said, ‘I wasn’t thinking.’”


Tiger Truck Stop's two new animals frustrate activists, but local, state officials staying out of fight
Pamela Bossier, the truck stop's manager, said the couple should have sought help from employees who were inside the truck stop's 24-hour cafe, just a few yards from Caspar's pen.

Instead, the couple crawled under a single strand of barbed wire at the bottom of the fence and one of them shoved the camel and used his hat to swat at it, Bossier said.

That made the camel mad, she said.

"Any animal you provoke, they're going to strike back," Bossier said. "It's instinct."

Bossier said in the 30 years the stop has kept wild animals, including the tiger, it hasn't had any attacks on visitors.

That's just nuts!

If it happened to the husband, would he have bitten the toe?

Grosse Tete

Just for clarification, though the trucker driver and his wife are from Florida, the actual biting of camel testicles occurred in Louisiana. So this isn't technically a Floriduh incident.

Though I know where you're going with that comment, I am not accompanying you there.

So basically the camel tea bagged her.

The camel is probably thinking, this is the last time I say "I'd give my left nut for a dog to play with"

That place is a shithole and it was a travesty how they kept that tiger in that small enclosure.

For those of you not familiar with Cajun French (or French in general), Grosse Tete means Big Head!
