A man has faced criticism after adorning his camel with a heavy gold necklace.

Criticism has been directed towards the camel owner online with one user describing him as ‘disgraceful.’ Another user, Tahtooh said, "Such a behavior is highly condemnable, and I wish the security authorities would summon the man and take legal action against him. His trivial attitude and frivolous behavior is bringing prejudice to the whole community and he should be held accountable for that."
Another social media comment read, "He might be showing off his camel at a show or trying to market it and sell it for a higher profit, but his attitude is utterly wrong and he should be held accountable. Religion clearly bans all forms of abuse and he is shamelessly abusing the camel."
Other comments were more scathing and suggested the man experience poverty "in order to learn to be thankful for God's blessings instead of wasting them through totally senseless and utterly ridiculous attitudes."
