Suffering is everywhere

Here's a headline of the week, and it's only Sunday night:

Robot jockeys to ride Gulf camels

It seems the world is finally catching up to the Arab Gulf, where for years they have used kidnapped slave children as camel jockeys. No, it's not a story in The Onion. It's real. Unfortunately they don't have a picture of the robotic jockey.

What will happen to the "up to 40,000" (!!!) slave boys if they are replaced by robots, it doesn't say.
