men come from as far away as Somalia to sell there camels here. They don't exactly treat them with kid gloves. Just continually beat them with sticks to get them to move. They also tie one of there legs up so they can only really hop around on 3 legs. Saying that I did see one guy sat down with a camel hand feeding it, there looked to be some kind of bond between the two of them.
Just missed out on see a goat get it's throat slit, instead had to make do with seeing it skinned and gutted. The other goats were giving each other weary looks knowing there turn would be in the next day or two.
On the way out the market, opposite the entrance I spotted where they must put the dead camels, there were a few corpses knocking around.
