The Saudi Arabian authorities have taken the largest ever repressive measures against the participants in the camel competition, the reason was the use of Botox and coloring of body parts of animals. The agency reported this on December 8 with reference to the Saudi Press Agency. AP…
The disqualification affected 40 camels participating in the King Abdel Aziz Festival, which started in early December. The organizers invited breeders to compete for a prize fund of about $ 66 million.
During the competition, botox injections, facelifts and other cosmetic changes designed to make camels more attractive are strictly prohibited. The jury will determine the winner based on the shape of the head, neck, humps, clothing and posture.
To detect violations, judges use “specialized and advanced” technologies. This year, a real scandal erupted. It turned out that dozens of breeders stretched the lips and noses of camels, used hormones to strengthen the muscles of animals, injected Botox into the heads and lips of camels, inflated body parts with rubber bands, and used fillers to relax their muzzles.
The festival also includes camel races, sales and other events. The UAE authorities maintain the role of the camel in the Kingdom’s Bedouin traditions and heritage.
In 2018, a similar scandal erupted at the annual camel festival in Saudi Arabia. Immediately 12 ships of the desert were barred from participating in a beauty contest with a prize fund of $ 57 million. The reason was also botox.
