https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-59593001 " Saudi camel beauty pageant cracks down on cosmetic enhancements" I suppose there are worse crimes but this is fairly spectacular /grotesque. Wonder what makes these competitors make such fools of themselves?A quick buck?Natural crass ignorance?
What are you thinking is the main "crime"? The use of cosmetic enhancements, like Botox, on camels, or the fact that there is a fortune to be had (GBP45m in prize money!!) for how "beautiful" a camel looks!?
The main crime is a lack of respect to the animals.The manner the mistreatment takes serves to highlight the behaviour. The financial incentive can't be wished away,nor should its as we all follow our financial urges .
Do you think the most effective way to communicate is to go with your choice of words (word) in the title? When I see such a crud form of language I can't help but question the validity of whatever argument follows. I think we both know (and you must have known at the time of posting) that this isn't likely to pass (nor should it) the moderation test.
It was how I felt. I don't propose to double down on it as this is a discussion forum and should not not an invective forum. The circumstance does merit discussion and others may also feel that strong disapprobation is called for.
Mod Note We may feel a lot of things. Does not mean we should always act out on those feelings. Thread title has been edited to remove very offensive language. How about next time, consider that others will read what you write and that perhaps, just perhaps, you take that into consideration before verbal or written diarrhea. The subject matter of the thread has a better chance at being taken seriously if you do!
have you watched & observed the usa beauty pageant culture & all they do to little girls ? have you watched & observed the dog, cat & animal shows that go on all over the world ? what about blessing animals & pets ceremony's at churches ? animal/farm day at schools you need to know what your comparing personal ego materialistic self ingratiation is against Muslim & conservative christian values equally we see these things played out externally in 3rd party expressions be those art pets or something else is the practice physically or emotionally abusive to the animal/person ? i doubt it is psychologically abusive to the camels & i doubt it is physically abusive so it is more a factor of judging something that is different like vegetable growing competitions whats the point ? it's a form of art & self expression & competition humans need competition & humans need art & self expression xenophobia tends to anthropomorphize aspects of ego into animist panic delusions (why hallucinogens are very dangerous & easily trigger violent attacks) culture complaint you dont like the culture to which they act in ok define what you don't like about their culture & how that aspect of their culture which you don't like interacts primarily with camel treatment
