CENMutilated CamelCruelty: Activists in China have issued a warning The camel has apparently been used for begging at least since April, and police say mutilating people no longer seems to gather as many generous donations. The men claimed that the camel was a wild camel that they had rescued after it had been run over by a train, and denied they had mutilated it, saying they were the camels saviours. Reports claim the wild camel is endangered and strictly protected by the Chinese government. CENMutilated CamelMutilation: Reports claim the camel is endangered and strictly protected by the Chinese government But even though there are only around 1,400 left in China and Mongolia, there is rarely any action against people who trapped them because of the difficulties in proving they are not domestic beasts. Local animal rights campaigner Xiong Kung said: You can see that the animal was obviously mutilated some time ago because the wounds are now healed. My information is that they get a large amount of money every day from people shocked by what they see and in effect they are rewarding these criminals for torturing the animal in the first place.

And that will remain the case until we get laws protecting animal rights.
