Lame camel
« on: July 02, 2014, 17:40:04 PM »
There is a guy wandering around Ovacik with a lame camel which is obviously in some distress, he is trying to get tourists to have there photo taken with this poor beast, it's probably none of my business but friends staying with us where appalled at this but apart from ignoring it what can we do

Ask Animal Aid to go and have a word with him.

I will talk to one of our vets who lives in the area and see if he can have a word but really it is down to the Belediye at the Forestry commission who are responsible for these animals, so should be reported there.

The lameness may have been caused by the fact that we saw the camel and 'handler' on Tuesday evening being walked from Calis area, and then arrive in Ovacik later that night as we sat in the Morning Star.  I suppose camels are used to walking those distances, but perhaps not on hard road surfaces.
