Camel racing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This camel
is driven by a child jockey.
Camel racing is a popular sport in the Arab
States and Australia. Professional camel racing, like horse racing, is an event
for betting and tourist attraction. Camels can run at speeds up to 40 mp/h 64
km/h in short sprints and they can maintain a speed of 25 mp/h 40 km/h for an
hour.
Camels are often controlled
by child jockeys, but allegations of human rights abuses have led to nationwide
bans on underage labor in the UAE and Qatar. Recent controversy over the
employment of children has led to increased use of robot-controlled camels [1] [2].
A major camel race in
Australia is the Camel Cup held at Alice Springs. It is held annually and
includes not only the camel races themselves, but also a collection of market
stalls and other entertainment.
