Judges have disqualified twelve camels from a Saudi Arabia “camel beauty contest” after it was established that Botox was administered to them to improve their features.
The competition is usually held at the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival in Rimah, Saudi Arabia and camels are rated not only based on their size and hump, but also their “droopy lip and large features.”
In a bid to improve their chances of winning the contest, some camel owners turn to Botox and fillers to improve the animal’s features. “They use Botox for the lips, the nose, the upper lips, the lower lips and even the jaw,” Ali Al Mazrouei, the son of a top Emirati breeder, told The National.
“It makes the head more inflated so when the camel comes it’s like, ‘Oh look at how big that head is. It has big lips, a big nose’.”
The National said that the pageant’s winner pockets millions of dollars in prize money.

Really funny…feels like this is what should be, if we must. The dump trump beauty pageants are so dehumanizing to the girls.
Beauty contest is hardly the…
Beauty contest is hardly the right word.Size and shape is more like it.Good thing about the contest is that there is no discrimination(my assumption is that all camels are white.Iam not well versed in “camelogy”).Apparently any camel can enter the contest.I could be wrong- does not indicate whether its for males or females.
Anyway, its amazing that just as in other contests, people are willing to cheat in the name of megabucks….Where are the animal right activists…?
hehehe….how can you tell…
hehehe….how can you tell one camel is more beautiful or handsome than the other? They need a lot of Botox for that
Oh Daddy! Animal rights…
Oh Daddy! Animal rights activists will be up in arms!
