Tucker Carlson interviews Wildlife Biologist Forrest Galante about the ethics of artificial camel enhancement.
Highlights include:
“Like beauty contestants, winning camels attract huge fan bases. Some camels have their own hashtags on Instagram, and fans will even write poems about their beauty. Famous camels also attract many high cash offers.”
“The problem is not all camels are beautiful, so some of them get plastic surgery.”
“Right across the border in Saudi Arabia, there’s a camel beauty pageant underway right now and a number of camels have been caught getting botox and touch-ups.”
“They can’t give consent — should that be allowed?”
“You could ask the same question about your dog at home. Dogs get cropped tails, they get their ears pinned. It’s a pet that you’re altering.”
“That is a thing they’re doing for their camels over there. They are doing botox fillers on the lips, they’re stretching things, they’re inflating the humps, they’re doing all kinds of different plastic surgeries to try and enhance the beauty and the aesthetics of these camels, ‘cuz the prize money is huge.”
“They are typically jerks, they really are.”
