camels in Australian outback fall in the same category as as any feral vermin ie cats and dogs and donkeys and buffalo , all are introduced pests that destroy the habitat of native wild life and overall are unproductive , case in point , some buffalo crosses have been useful for breeding for milk production but overall they are just a reservoir for brucellosis and TB they use to be exported back to Indonesia where they initially came from but most of that stopped in the 80s .
In saying that there is a market for camels in the USA until now the issue has been they needed to be quarratined in New York which cost around 25K if there was a quarrantine station on the West Coast then maybe there is potential
Most camels use to get sold for camel meat to Malaysia that market probably will get stronger as like China they could bring in a halt to wild meat capture due to Corona currently the profit margins are very small as camels normally are trading at around $US100.00 compare that will the average Angus 2 year old bull which I am guessing is around $A800
Regarding camels not dying after being shot and causing a stink , if a camel is shot in the upper head with a 308 or 270 cartridged round it will be dead and they decompose over about 2 months , but yes it would be good to make them into pet food , which is a logistically faster way of solving an ecological problem and probably more profitable than exporting
