Camels may be bad for us

The scientist has floated the idea of shooting feral camels and using the meat for human consumption or pet food.

"Aboriginal people rightly would like to make some money out of the camels which are on their land, so we may well see strong support in those communities for using camels for things like pet meat but also for maybe human consumption."

Though I'm still unclear on why they're bad...'cause I've always heard they're the perfect species for Australia. Though why has it taken this long to realise that, without natural predators, their numbers can become a problem?
