Camels May Build up Pressure Like a Pressure Cooker

Camels may build up a pressure cooker of resentment toward human beings until the lid blows off and they go berserk. In Asia when a camel driver senses trouble, he gives his coat to the animal. Like workers who often work off frustrations by beating up models of their executives, the camel gives the garment a thrashing, jumping on it, biting it, tearing it to pieces. When the camel feels it has blown its top enough, man and animal can live together in harmony again. (David Taylor, Zoo Vet).
