JEDDAH: A group of young men have triggered a debate on social media with an unusual act. They posted a video clip showing them distributing the meat of a wolf they had hunted in Al-Jourfiyah, south of Afif. More shocking is the scene in which one of them is seen eating the flesh raw.

The video shows two young men cutting through the flesh from the carcass of the wolf, while another is seen taking his share and heading to his car to keep it inside, local media reported on Wednesday..

The video evoked sharp reactions from people, with most expressing shock and astonishment. Some commented sarcastically that there are people who hunt wolves, slaughter them and sell the meat. The citizens have demanded that the authorities intervene and take action against them and prevent such incidents from happening again.

Dr. Zahra Moabi, consultant and family trainer at King Abdulaziz Center for National Dialogue, said it seems the men appearing in the video suffer some mental disorder and used technology to document what they think is a heroic act.

“This clearly indicates that they suffer from psychological or mental illnesses. They should be referred to a psychologist,” she was quoted as saying.
