One of the important tourist attractions of Lanzarote is camel rides. A visitor to the Timanfaya National Park has denounced through a recording a "clear case of animal abuse" and has uploaded it to her social networks. A baby camel has been "hit" to achieve its "training" and thus be able to carry the tourists present there, the woman explains to La Voz.
The animal was "tied to its mother by the snout and with a muzzle" and with "its little legs skinned from being on the stone floor", while the tourists "climb on top so that it "gets used" to carrying them", she criticizes.
All this, with the "high temperatures" that it has to endure and "many hours of work in the sun", in addition to being "without any type of food, nor water", she adds.
"I had to listen to that poor baby scream"
"I had to listen to that poor baby scream", she comments. At which point one of the company's workers realizes that he is being recorded and quickly shouts, "don't do that in front of everyone, we could be reported."
In addition to this user, more people on the island have wanted to echo through social networks and have denounced the unpleasant event.
