    1) I found this:
    "A $250,000 compensation claim has been made against Saudi Arabia's oil giant Saudi Aramco for causing the death of a prized camel, local press reports say.
    The case, to be heard on Monday, involves a three-year-old black camel which fell into a large hole dug in the desert to store crude oil.
    The camel's owner is quoted saying the beast had been entered in one of the region's popular camel beauty pageants.
    The compensation claim is based on the value experts put on the camel.
    The owner, Abdullah Al-Saiari, said the she-camel was grazing in a desert pasture, about 150 miles (250km) west of Ahsa, when the accident happened.
    "She was part of the Camel Beauty Contest," he said, the Saudi Gazette reported."

    "The three-year-old black camel was grazing in a desert pasture about 150 miles west of Ahsa when it fell into a large hole dug to store crude oil.
    Now the owner, Abdullah al-Saiari, is suing the oil giant Saudi Aramco for £160,000 in compensation for his prized camel.

    Mr Saiari told the Saudi Gazette: "She was part of the Camel Beauty Contest."
    The court had already contacted the beauty pageant's administrators to assess the value of the animal. A panel of camel experts set the beast's value at SR1 million, or £160,000."

    That particular camel was certainly worth a lot of money.

    ---- (ADDED: about camel beauty contests) -----

    "They come from Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere. They parade in front of the judges, fluttering their enormous eyelashes and rotating their rubbery lips.

    The judges know what they are looking for: shiny hair, long legs, a massive head, firm ears, an arched nose, a high back and a large and symmetrical hump.

    The winners take home brand-new luxury sport-utility vehicles, but something more: the honor of the family.

    Despite being outlawed by Saudi Arabian clerics, the camel pageant in Abu Dhabi is a popular annual event lasting nine days, with feasting at the end.

    As the nomadic lifestyle declines on the Arabian Peninsula, with more Arabs living in mansions than in tents, the romance of the camel, which sustained life there for thousands of years, persists."

    Put the camel into a taxi and tell the driver to take it to a strip joint.
