Disgruntled Camels, Disgruntled People, a Trail of Victims…………
The people of Saudi Arabia may be calm and complacent, downright conformists, but their camels are spirited.
Reports say that a camel east of Hafr al-Batin attacked its Sudanese herder and killed him with its bare…. hoofs. Another report is about a disgruntled camel that chased and attacked two teen-age daughters of its owner and sent them both to the hospital with serious wounds.
I like camels, always have respected them. I feel sorry for the dead and wounded in these cases. But it is interesting to see someone, anyone, being publicly and loudly disgruntled in Saudi Arabia. I like to see publicly disgruntled peoples and camels. That is why I was pleased when there were many loudly disgruntled people on the streets of Tehran last summer and autumn. In the Middle East, the more disgruntled people I see in the street, the happier I am. Barring that, I am also happy with unruly disgruntled camels: they are the next best thing.
Cheers
