A new PETA Asia investigation in Egypt has revealed horrific abuse of horses and camels forced to haul visitors on their backs or in carriages in blistering heat without shade, food, or water. Shocking footage shows animals being whipped with sticks, collapsing in the street and ‘foaming’ at the mouth in the country, where hundreds of thousands of Western tourists flock every year.
The SUN For many of the half a million British tourists who visit Egypt every year, camel rides are a must, up there with seeing the pyramids and sunbathing on the famous beaches.
But now, an investigation reveals the hidden horrors behind this popular tourist activity – with camels beaten with sticks, forced to walk in the blistering heat with no food and even hit in the testicles.
For as little as £7, many UK holidaymakers have ridden past The Great Pyramid of Giza and other ancient sights on a camel’s back, often stopping to snap a selfie with the animal.
However, less than an hour’s drive away from the monuments and mass of hotels, camels are allegedly being beaten until they ‘scream’ at Egypt’s biggest camel market.
Hundreds of the creatures are being sold off every day at the massive market in Birqash, which sits only around 20 miles away from the pyramids and the Saqqara burial site.
And shocking new footage, obtained by animal rights group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), shows the ‘cruel’ treatment some are forced to endure (See video below).
While one clip shows an injured camel standing in the heat with blood streaming out its nose, another captures an animal desperately trying to flee as it is whacked with sticks. Other camels are apparently struck in the testicles and left ‘foaming at the mouth’.
PETA, which shared the footage with Sun Online, claims many camels giving rides to holidaymakers at The Great Pyramid and Saqqara come from ‘cruel’ markets.
Eventually ‘slaughtered for meat’
An investigation by the organisation’s Asian arm found that some of these animals are left ‘screaming’ in pain before being sold off to give ‘endless rides in the heat’.
When they’re no longer useful, some of the animals are allegedly returned to the markets and sent away to be slaughtered for meat. Although camel meat isn’t a typical restaurant dish, it is eaten by many locals.

My first thought was: PETA must be desperate to cover this. Muslimes are not their usual targets…
What I saw brought me to tears. Ugly, barbaric, purely satanic… words fail me
Terry Gain says
I want an investigation into the abuse of Buraqs. I hear they’ve been ridden to heaven and hell.

I had seen a video long ago of a male camel being beaten for trying to mount a female camel in heat. This is just more of the same.
What does one expect from satan’s cult?
Leonie Z Pipe says
The savage that beat him probably did so because he was competing for the female camel’s attention. Muslimes shagging camels is not unheard of.
Grace Joy says
Could be. One would think they could rape camels whenever they want, though. Perhaps he didn’t want sloppy seconds.

Muslums treat each other like this, so of course the animals also! I rode a camel & horse around the pyramids years ago. They appeared healthy, but the zoos are horrendous & I saw several horses/donkeys left dying off the side of the road for weeks on end, probably injured in traffic.
This is what goes on in shithole Muslum countries. No big deal to the death cult of Islam.
Mezcukor says
I was in Marocco and went to the animal market. The animals were in bad shapes. I could not stop crying. They do mistreat their animals.
Az gal says
Me too. I don’t like to think or talk about it.
It was a nightmare. I broke down at the zoo in Cairo.

There is NOT ONE VETERINARY College in all of Islamabad. There are NO VETS in any muzzie country. As well, in all seriousness, they have NO KNOWLEDGE WHATSOEVER about animal husbandry, nor is it taught in any context whatsoever. Think about it, it is perfectly acceptable and recommended that any one, male, female, illiterate, hermaphrodite, you don’t even have to be able to chew gum and walk at the same time, is allowed to take a shard of broken glass, rusty scissors, a dull spoon, and hack away the outer labia, inner labia (sometimes) and the clitoris from babies and little girls. Why the hell would they give a rat’s ass about any animal?
Az gal says
In shithole Muslum countries such as Egypt, you can hear stray dogs getting hit by cars at night. Probably on purpose. The screaming dogs wake you up. Not something you like to remember.

I hate everything to do with islam more and more every day. As a whole, muslims are the most evil, sadistic, wicked people on planet earth – bar none. Yet they ALWAYS play the poor pitiful victim card. They seem to enjoy, with a passion, bringing pain and horror to other humans and animals.

PETA Asia? Last time I checked Egypt was in Africa.
Bring in Muslims...ruin your country says
ANZAC soldiers killed their animals rather than leave them to the Muslims when they had to leave the region and could not take them with them.
They knew how horrible Muslims treated their animals
Linda Rivera says
The Bible, Proverbs 12:14, warns that, “The deeds of a man’s hands will return to him”.
The Just Judge, Almighty God, our Majest Creator, will punish the Evil Ones on Judgment Day. The CRUEL will be given back to them all of the terrible things they did to humans and animals.
They will spend all eternity in Hell.
It will be too late to repent of their wickedness on that Day.

SORRY BASRARDS
Linda Rivera says
BOYCOTT BARBARIC Egypt.
The HOLY ONE, our Awesome, Majestic Creator, created each human and animal with infinite LOVE and CARE.
The precious horses and camels scream out in AGONY to God their Maker.
Bible, Romans 12:19
“VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord.
bioya1 says
If Muslims hold human life in low regard why should they think twice about animals?
Halgaunt says
Exactly. They have literally no regard or respect whatsoever for any life form on earth. They are the most selfish, cruel, malicious, hate filled, cold, calculating, insane gang of demented people on earth. The Bible, (Solomon) clearly states that if you want to know “the heart of a person”, watch how they treat their animals. What a pathetic, vile, sadistic people.
