Daily Show Bad Joke With Camel Goes Awry—Where Are Protests?

The Daily Show tried to make a joke out of the Wisconsin protests by bringing a camel to the snow—to mimic what happened in Cairo, apparently.  It did not work out.  The camel freaked. Where are the protests from animal rights groups against the DS and Jon Stewart?

Allow me: As an animal welfarist, I protest. Bringing a camel to an icy spot, amidst loud protests, was a very stupid idea. No word on whether the camel was hurt.
