PETA Is Not Happy That Google Used a Camel To Get a Desert "StreetView"
First time accepted submitter flopwich writes Google used a camel-mounted camera to get a 'street view' of a stretch of desert in the United Arab Emirates. PETA's director Ingrid E. Newkirk is upset about it, saying they should have used jeeps. "These days, jeeps are in common use in the desert, as are light planes and even dune buggies, and satellite images could also easily have been taken instead," she said. "(Google) should leave camels out of its activites altogether."
It's Ingrid Newkirk. What did you expect?
If Google had used a dolphin, I would say that the PETA would have a point.

Google feeds their employees dead cows and chickens on a regular basis. They should have used plants. These days, quinoa is in common use in foodservice, as are beans and eggplants, and lentils could also have been easily used instead. Google should leave beef out of its activities altogether.
The World Wide Web is dying. Soon, we shall have only the Internet.
News for Nerds is still on the beta page, but stuff that matters is gone all together.
Please think of the bacteria!

Isn't "walking around with a camera and photographing everything" considered a vacation, usually?
Forget magic. Any technology distinguishable from divine power is insufficiently advanced.
