I wonder whether the camels will begin to be farmed intensively, the same as cows?
To get cows to produce milk for us, they are artificially inseminated or introduced to a bull once a year to produce a calf. If the calf is born female, she may be raised as part of the dairy herd. If the calf is male, it's off to the slaughterhouse or strapped into a pen the size of a cupboard for a few months before slaughter: that gives us veal. Three months after birth, the cow is inseminated again for the next year's cycle.
The cows are distressed at being separated from their newborn young, year on year, and most only live 4 to 5 years (natural lifespan would be around 18), before being sent to the slaughterhouse themselves: that gives us leather, cosmetics and a hundred other things.
