The problem of child jockeys has received increasing press in the last 2 years, but concrete moves to eradicate it have been on par with the pace of other issues here. S-L-O-O-O-W! At least it seems like there might actually be an end in sight. Between the problem of parents in poor coutries selling their children, the kidnapping of others,and the mistreatment (even imprisonment) they suffer literally living in the stables, this is a "sport" that needs to be outlawed. Though somehow I have the feeling that folks will lose interest when it is robots riding the camels.... As to the idea that no children have been hurt: tell that to the brain-dead 8 year old who fell off his camel last year and was wearing a sub-standard helmet. Salaam, PM Thanks for posting this!
