Greetings:

The OSHA investigation report indicated the lack of a "No Baby Camels Allowed" sign and chided the command for the use of the word "manhole" as opposed to the more appropriate "personhole."

Looks like the bebeh camel is going to give its rescuer a nose-bonk of thanks.  That's a great photo.

However, a later review determined the term "personhole" to be speciesist, particularly in light of the incident, and recommended the use of the term "living being access hole".

Hey, if you can't rescue a pet camel once in a while, just what can you rescue?
