Do you feel sorry for the camels at sahara dessert who are so exhausted and hungry that they are left to die ?

Question

I read an article last night on camels in the sahara dessert,
it was so sad,
i cried
They even drag the camel along for a few hours to see if they will get up and keep going
they rely on grass for food for energy..
and sometimes there isnt a sign of grass for weeks .
the camels get swallown and blistered feet
starving
there are "razor sharp rocks"
the person who wrote the article said "i started counting dead camels but once i got to 1000 i gave up"
he also said " we lost 2 camels in the first two days, they were too weak to go on, i would have liked to shoot them to put them out of there misery pain and suffering but i didnt have a gun"

does anyone else find this incredibly sad and cruel?

shouldnt there be protection against camels?

Answer 1

There definately should be. Just because animals aren't as pretty as cats or dogs etc, they're still animals.

If people were putting dogs through this same sort of treament they'd be in a load of trouble. But people seem to put different values on life! for some reason people see dogs are better than camels or other animals we dont regard as pets.

Its very sad to hear and very cruel. These people doing it should be put through the same torture. Animals feel pain too, and they dont have a voice, we need to be their voice!

Answer 2

All the along, I felt that animals who are made to carry heavy loads are poor things, but they are just slaves to transportation, that is nothing much we can do about it. Either the camel wear out and die or the men who carry loads themselves die.
