Actually, they produced two lists: one "too hard to keep or too dangerous
deceases" and one "no pet, special rules apply".  The camel is on the
second list.  The first has the usual suspects like bears, skunk, dingo,
various foxes, racoon, but also the Elk(!) and wallabies (deceases).

Most "special condition" animals require a lot of space, not to be
helt indoors ;-)

Dutch animal names may be a challenge.  Forbidden:

Proposed, no law (yet)
