In one more attempt to carry the host, the camel made a series of movements that people thought looked strange. However, Raúl said that riding a camel is the same as riding a horse and clarified that the problem is not his weight.

“To clarify those who protest. What is the difference between riding a camel and riding a horse? In the desert you ride a camel, since these animals weigh more than 1,300 pounds,» he said, trying to defuse the situation.

Raúl de Molina concluded by writing: «They also kill them like cows and sell the meat to people who cannot buy beef since camel meat is cheaper.» People commented: «That is called animal abuse.» «How is it possible that they mistreat an animal in that way?»
