Saudi Arabia suffers double-whammy

Roughly analogous to North America losing NASCAR and McDonalds at the same time...
Nearly 2,000 camels have died in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia due to suspected poisoned animal feed.

The animals began dying in the Dawasir Valley south of the capital Riyadh but other camel deaths have been recorded from Mecca to the border of Yemen.

Camels are traded by Bedouin tribes for thousands of dollars each. The animals are used for racing and are also eaten.

"To have a verse of the Koran on something you kick with your foot would be an insult in any Muslim country around the world."
Good grief.
