Neglected camel kills owner after hours tied in scorching heat

In a chilling 2016 incident that shocked India’s Barmer district, a camel turned violently on its owner after being left tied up for hours in scorching 109°F heat without water or shade. The animal’s owner, Urjaram, had reportedly forgotten about the camel while entertaining guests inside his home.

Witnesses recalled the camel growing increasingly agitated as it paced and growled in the relentless desert sun. When Urjaram finally approached to untie it, the camel attacked with shocking force—biting, slamming him to the ground, and ultimately severing his head in front of horrified villagers.

“The animal lifted him by the neck, threw him down, chewed the body and severed the head,” one local told media. The rampage continued for hours, with 25 villagers working together for nearly six hours to finally restrain the enraged animal.

Some villagers suggested the outburst was years in the making, citing a tense history between Urjaram and the camel that may have included mistreatment. Experts note that camels, typically gentle, can become dangerously aggressive when pushed beyond their limits.

Weighing up to 2,200 pounds with powerful jaws and limbs, camels can crush and maim with ease. “A full-grown adult can fit your head, arm, or torso in its mouth,” one expert warned.

Tragically, this case isn’t unique. Other deadly camel attacks have occurred in Siberia, Mexico, and the U.S., often after mistreatment or neglect.

These rare but devastating events serve as a reminder: even domesticated animals demand respect, care, and humane treatment.
