Camels: Lethargic Exoduster or Pulchritudinous Mode of Portage

This is my persuasive essay
*disclaimer: I seriously do not condone any of these acts. They are putrid and one should only stoop to these lows if they are in a pretty bad-to-slightly life threatening situation. Sorry for the fact that it rambles on a bit but I kinda wanted a descent-to-fairly good grade. And now i will stop using this repetitive-to-rather lame method of measuring things. Enjoy.

One might see such dromedaries in a torrid Arabian setting, lumbering along at dreadfully slow paces. But in fact, they have a myriad of uses including their profuse efficiency, exuberant amount of health benefits, and the fact that unlike their horse brethren, they require miniscule amounts of maintenance. Camels should become a main mode of transportation not solely because they are “truly wonderful animals” but because they are more economically friendly too .

The amount of money spent on a horse includes vet services, utilities, track, bedding, training, labor, and other miscellaneous supplies; while on the other hand, a horse requires very little of each of these tedious things. Camels rarely get sick or injured, they require no bedding since they have been trained to sleep on the Sahara sands at night, and camels usually need no training due to their extremely affectionate nature. Also they consume much less food and water than horses, since they are accustomed to venturing long and far without supplies and necessities most and animals would succumb without.

Camels have a slew of benefits that would tempt any wary traveler. The milk of a camel is highly nutritious. It contains 3 times more Vitamin C than cow’s milk and also contains Vitamin B, Iron, and vital unsaturated fatty acids and is known to treat hepatitis. According to Anthony Fletcher,” Another major [benefit] is that … camel[‘s] milk keeps longer than cow's.” Camel urine has been known to treat skin diseases as ringworm, tinea, abscesses, sores, and ulcers. It also cleanses and conditions hair. And surprisingly enough camel dung can cure dysentery and be used as a cooking aid.

Dromedaries and Bactrians are also utterly efficient mammals. They require little food and can go without water for days on end. They store fat, not water, in their humps on their backs which allows them to extract necessary energy from that in trying times. They can also carry immensely heavy loads that would make any horse buckle.

Now most people see camels as exceedingly sluggish creatures. This is the reason so many people would chose to ride a horse to rescue a fair maiden from a keep. While horses are much more glamorous camels are more practical, and by no means are they slow. They can maintain speeds of 25 mph for over an hour and can sprint 40 mph for shorter distances.

Camels are known as the “ships of the desert” even though they thrive in almost any climate. They produce many healthful assets and have proven themselves worthy and efficient vessels of movement. In the coming days they shall be know, to all people of the land, by Latin as mundus traba or in English the “ships of the world”.

P.S. I don't even know if that's the right latin
