Qatar to use robots as camel jockeys rather than kidnapped children

This is just bizarre on so many levels: Because of all sorts of complaints from human rights groups about the practice of kidnapping children from other countries and forcing them into service as jockeys in camel races, the Persian Gulf state of Qatar held its first camel race the other day using robot-jockeys rather than actual live human riders. It's definitely encouraging to see Qatar taking a big step forward like this.
