Botox Scandal? Camels Disqualified From Annual Saudi Beauty Contest!
Local Editor
More than ten camels were disqualified from this year's 'King Abdulaziz Camel Beauty Contest' in Saudi Arabia because their trainers used Botox, The National reported.
Dozens of camels were injected with Botox days before their run in the month-long annual pageant, which is currently taking place in the kingdom.
According to The National, this wasn't the only type of procedure the animals were subjected to, some also had the size of their ears reduced.
Speaking to the English-language daily, Ali Al Mazrouei, a regular attendee of the contest and son of a top Emirati camel breeder, said:
"They use Botox for the lips, the nose, the upper lips, the lower lips and even the jaw. 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'."
Considered one of the largest contests of its kind in the Gulf, the pageant sees thousands of camel breeders, handlers, and trainers descend on Riyadh to take part in the cultural event.
This year, many of them have been turned away amid the Botox scandal.
Meanwhile, news of the disqualifications is making headlines around the globe and naturally, it's also going viral on social media.
