A disturbing incident involving a camel on the set of the popular TV show Rivals has sent shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry. The main character of the series, known for his exciting bonkbuster scenes, was in for a wild ride when he decided to ride a camel on set.
According to the camel’s owner, the scene nearly ended in “catastrophe” after things got out of hand. The ride, part of a big party scene, didn’t seem to be too well-planned and preparations might have been overlooked, leaving everyone to wonder if the production team was adequately trained for handling such scenes.
Fortunately, thanks to quick thinking and swift response by professionals, disaster was averted, sparing the main character and crew members from potential harm. "We were riding along just fine when the camel suddenly darted out of control and was on the verge of chaos,” says a production team member. The team quickly moved to calm the animal and safely move everyone out of the situation.
Camel safety experts stressed the importance of ensuring the well-being and safety of the animals involved in filming. “Training, careful preparation, and close observation are key to preventing such calamities from occurring”, one expert stated. And it seems like this was precisely what was missing during the shooting of this incident in Rivals.
Luckily, filming resumed safely and orderly for the rest of the shoot, but it was clear that such an incident will leave the crew thinking twice about using similar scenes in the future.
