Aramco sued for death of ‘beauty queen’ camel
I found this funny although if it happened to my dog I would also be pissed and sue:
In what must rank as one of the most bizarre lawsuits ever filed against an oil and gas company, it has been reported that Saudi Aramco are being sued for US$267,000 for allegedly causing the death of a female camel that had taken part in a beauty pageant in the KSA.
The attractive three year-old black camel died in tragic circumstances after she fell into a hole in the desert that the Saudi hydrocarbons giant had dug and filled with crude oil.
Her heartbroken owner, Abdullah Al-Saiari, had entered the animal into the Camel Beauty Contest, a hotly contested event that attracts camel breeders from all over the KSA to show off their most eye-catching beasts.
The case is currently being brought before the court in Saudi Arabia.

They really gotta stop with the whole camel beauty contest crap. It doesn’t help the camel fucker stereotype at all.

Am not surprised..
These camels reach up to 1 million KD and their owners still wouldnt sell!!
Plus whether it was a camel, a horse, a dog, or even a pig for heavens sake, a pet is a pet.. and its something more valuable then your whole house then of course ud make a scene about it.

“They really gotta stop with the whole camel beauty contest crap. It doesn’t help the camel fucker stereotype at all.”
Why should they stop??
And who gives a fuck what people say..
In the west, people have beauty shows for cats, dogs, rabbits, pigs, cattle and sheep…
Why is a camel beauty show any different?

Agree w Comment no.5
And comment no.10… even in Kuwait there are several oil installations with multiple warning signs for HUMANS. Do you expect a curious camel to read that and back off?

LOL @ 11
