Animal welfare activists in Oman were infuriated after a video showing a camel with its legs tied being forcibly thrown out of a pickup truck went viral across the Sultanate.
“This was not an accident, but instead an incident of someone reversing the vehicle too quickly,” said the founder of Oman-based animal welfare group Tiger by the Tail Jaison Mathai.
Mathai commented that it was a sad situation where the poor creature could not save itself from the purposfully jerking vehicle asits legs were tied up.
“It is very important for us that we treat animals just as we would treat each other. As humans, we need to conduct ourselves in a manner that shows as an example of humanity to others. If required, we are willing to contribute towards the wellbeing of this animal,” Mathai said.
“We should care about the camels that we have because these are an authentic breed, and we’ve inherited it from our ancestors,” said Saeed al-Malki, a camel owner and herder in Oman.
