Not a pleasant way to look at part of nature. But camels served as dependable food for centuries in a area where crops do not grow and to population less developed.

Camel meat is very tasty and milk tastes good too and healthy of course .

Camel.. a very working, sincere animal. Truly friend of mankind !

It is very cruel to tie the leg of a camel... Quran advises us to treat animals with respect and passion....

Tying one leg and making them walk is way too cruel. I understand that some might like to eat them, which is fine but don't have to torture them before that.

Only barbarians can kill powerless creatures without any guilt. There is a direct connection between slaughtering animals/trees and slaughtering humans. Till we dont stop animal slaughtering, human slaughtering also will go on.

@jen It has been proven that once we lose sensitivity to animals and kill them. Next step of killing human being comes easily. One violence begets another violence.

@jen absolutely agree, sometimes I wonder if the religious injunctions on sacrifice is to harden and produce more warriors.

May God free camels from slavery to human beings, and let them graze freely.in God's green pastures made for them.

You mean, back to the PAST

@jen : Its a Muslim ritual that has been followed over centuries and will continue till eternity. But amazingly slaughtering the way we Muslim do it, its the best and the least painful method of killing animals. The world should be more concerned with the automated slaughter houses where the animals are deprived of any sense, feeling while getting butchered amidst running blades. Islam preaches us to avoid killing one animal in front of other and to make the process as less painful as possible for the sacrificial animal.Why do people around the globe prefer eating cats, dogs, grass-hoppers,worms, lizards and live octupus when they have been blessed with more appropriate food that is equally beneficial for them in terms of health and taste?

@Nameless : don't mix things up for your own sake, let the divine things be separated from the so-called intellectualism and enlightenment. Pity on those whose wish their lives not be governed by the divine messages and commandments rather their lust,greed and relatively limited knowledge about the world. let the rituals set forth in accordance with the ways of prophets be followed by the faithfuls while the atheists and the nameless bet left alone to carry with their fruitless journey.

@Iqra - You must ask your Chinese "all weather friends" why they eat grasshopper, frogs, lizards and other living things. Let us agree that there is no humane way to kill an animal. It is an Islamic practise and we respect it. However, there is no way you can slowly cut an animal's throat with a knife and say it is humane. It is most certainly not.
