"Google has no business using camels to 'cutesy up' its data-collection imagery," said Ingrid E. Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals (PETA). "Anyone who has read about or visited that area knows that camels have a hard lot in life."

For the majority of its Street View projects, Google has used vehicles adorned with a camera. On Thursday, Newkirk argued this is what the company should have done for its Liwa Desert project.

"These days, jeeps are in common use in the desert, as are light planes and even dune buggies, and satellite images could also easily have been taken instead," she said. "(Google) should leave camels out of its activites altogether."
