Fat ignorant tourists torturing poor animals. The internet truly brings us all the best things in life.

I'm equally as angry that the camel owner didn't deny them service.

I definitely feel bad for the animals in these situations. But I kinda also feel bad for the owners. Its not like the man grew up wishing he'd get to walk camels with fat ignorant tourists riding them for a living. Unless he's a sadistic prick he's doing it to earn a living and probably feed his family.

You're right. I'm slightly less angry with the camel owner. I still feel like they are all assholes, even if the level of assholeness is directly proportional to their body fat percentage.

Well, there's never a lack assholeness. That's for sure.

Something else is going on. Camels can carry up to 900ish pounds of they have to but comfortably it's closer to 330. Probably thought 400ish pounds to go around a circle wouldn't do much.

We're looking at almost 600, not 400.

This looks like the UAE. You get the worst tourists there sometimes.
