Dead Camel = Garbage

There must be a better way to dispose of a dead camel.

i think so too.. last time when i went to Saudi.. i saw a lot of dead Camel’s and sheeps on the way.

may be they can’t handle the heat anymore… probably this particular camel was running on a 12V engine… before u knew it… the fule (water) was gone…lol

anyways… what do people do with the dead camels? (apart from leaving it where its dead)

After I did the story on the dead horses at Ahmadi race track I found out that the livestock owners are supposed to inform the Baladiya which is supposed to go out and pick up the carcass. Like a lot of other things in the country, what is “supposed” to happen often doesn’t.

Dead animal carcasses can spread just as much disease as dead humans. Legally in the US, you have to either burn the animal carcasses or bury them 6′ underground (I discovered that factoid when my horse died in the winter in February and we had to hire a backho to dig through the ice…)

Unfortunately there is no facility for incinerating animals here. Also some antiquated law prevents animals from being buried here. What else can you do?
