In shocking footage, an animal protection organization documented horrific scenes showing mistreatment of camels in the “Bargash Market” in Egypt by some merchants, as camels and horses are used in archaeological sites there to serve tourists, such as the nearby pyramids in Giza and Saqqara.
And the “PETA” organization stated in a statement on its website, that when these animals can no longer be used on trips or to take pictures by tourists, they end up in the market to sell their meat.
It also alleged that some traders pack camels into trucks before reaching the market, and once they arrive they use sticks to hit them in the face and other areas. She said some camels are left with bloody, fly-infested wounds that are not treated.
Meanwhile, “Peta Asia” footage showed a truck pulling a camel by the leg on the street.
While some workers tie the legs of the camels tightly so that they cannot escape or even move freely.
In addition, the organization indicated that it had published similar videos four years ago, which prompted Egyptian security at the time to move and arrest three merchants on charges of torturing camels.
It is noteworthy that PETA is an American non-profit organization demanding equal rights for animals, headquartered in Virginia, in the United States, and it is the largest group to protect animal rights in the world.
