Camel euthanized as authorities evaluate, relocate animals from Oregon safari park

Several agencies, including the Oregon State Police and Oregon Humane Society, continue to evaluate animals housed at a troubled southern Oregon safari park on Highway 101 near Bandon. Authorities seized animals from the property.

Veterinarians diagnosed one camel at the West Coast Game Park Safari in Coos County with "multiple serious medical conditions" and noted it was "suffering." Considering transport would likely result in death, authorities decided "humane euthanasia was the appropriate option."
