The Issue

Camels are animals that are adapted to live in arid areas with hot temperatures . But what has been happening in Rajasthan , India nowadays is not so good . Recently , there was one incident that took place in which left in the heat with its legs tied all day, a camel attacked its owner and severed his head in anger in Rajasthans' Barmer district on Saturday..  The owner was entertaining guests at his house on Saturday night when he suddenly realised that his camel had been out in the heat all day with its legs tied. He was attacked when he tried to untie the annoyed animal. Areas in Rajasthan are witnessing some of the highest mercury levels in the country. Soldiers patrolling the border with Pakistan, too, are facing a tough time dealing with camels in this heat. Recently, a camel attempted to get a soldier off its back while rushing to the shade.  Now , THIS IS VERY RISKY FOR THE SOLDIERS AT THE BORDER . And secondly , the most important point being , if a naturally adapted animal is showing this behaviour , it straight away means that the camels are suffering . We get irritated and horrified when we have to simply work or move out in temperatures ranging just  40 degree celsius etc. Those areas  have even faced temperatures about 50 degree celsius also . SO JUST THINK HOW HARD IT MIGHT BE FOR THE CAMELS WORKING WITH THE ARMY FOR LONG HOURS . Thus , this petition is an attempt to gather support for the cause . After gathering support , we will request many news editors to take up this issue to the Rajasthan government and the army . We have a proposal that robots that can perform the similar task should be replaced for the time being instead of making the camels suffer . It won't be ethical and rightful if animals are made to suffer for our purposes that too in such conditions which even we as common public cannot withstand nor can the animals . If the authorities suggets any other technology or solution that can  be used as a substitute for camels , it will be okay , but the concept is to make the point heard . But our concept is important enough to be looked into by the authorities . Thus , this is an effort to make the point heard , discussed and acted upon . BY SIGNING THIS PETITION YOU  CAN HELP US APPROACH THE MEDIA . THE  SUPPORT WILL HELP US CONVINECE THE NEWS EDITORS AND OTHER MEDIA TO TAKE THE MATTER FORWARD .  We are a group of youngsters working as a group named  Volunteers for Animal Rights and Sustainable Development  .
