Weird story: Turkish Airlines workers eat a camel!

A job well done is worth celebrating, but Turkish Airlines say staff went too far when they sacrificed a camel. To mark the last delivery of 100 aircraft, maintenance workers saved some money to buy the beast - and then consume it … together. The sacrifice took place at Istanbul international airport. 700kg of camel meat was distributed among the workers.

"They didn't ask permission," a spokeswoman for the airline told the BBC, adding that the boss of the offending staff had been suspended. He will remain off work while the incident is investigated.

Camel is eaten in Turkey, while the sacrifice of animals - usually sheep - is performed during the Festival of Sacrifice.

"But it wasn't anything to do with that," said Belgin Alisan of Turkish Airlines. "They went too far. We are really quite shocked."
