Lizard carnage in the Saudi desert

A group of Saudi men on a desert safari hunted scores of lizards during one trip then they slaughtered the little animals and skinned them before having them for a big feast.

An 85-second YouTube film showed the men were skinning the slaughtered reptiles while scores of those animals were scattered on the sand in the Gulf Kingdom’s desert.

“It is a real desert lizard massacre. The film shows scores of them were strewn on the sand while the hunter were happily skinning some hunted lizards,” Arar daily said.

Lizards are eaten in many parts of Saudi Arabia, where there are no laws banning the hunting of such small animals, among a handful of desert creatures that have survived massive hunting and post-oil development projects in the region.
