A distressing video has surfaced showing a camel being mercilessly beaten in Morocco, igniting fury among animal rights activists and tourists alike. The footage, widely shared online, depicts the animal being whipped repeatedly by a handler while tourists watch in horror.
Outrage from PETA
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has condemned the incident, calling for immediate action against the perpetrator. "This blatant cruelty must not go unpunished," a PETA spokesperson stated.
Tourists Witness Abuse
Witnesses reported that the camel was struck multiple times, even as onlookers pleaded for the violence to stop. The handler appeared unfazed, continuing the abuse in broad daylight.
Growing Calls for Change
Animal welfare organisations are urging Moroccan authorities to enforce stricter penalties for animal abuse, particularly in tourist-heavy areas where such incidents often occur.
