The BBC reported a very interesting case involving a dead camel. The camel fell into a hole that was dug by an oil company to store crude. The owner claims the camel was entered in a beauty contest. The damages, are based on the value that experts have placed on the camel.

By Canadian standards the owner would have had to prove that the camel would have had a good chance of winning the pageant. Not entirely sure how this case will play out in Saudi Arabia especially since oil corporations are the countries largest financial contributors.
