Camel beauty pageants are huge in Saudi with one such camel beauty pageant having a prize money that is higher than the Miss World beauty pageant.<\/p>\n
To make their camels win the beauty contest some camel breeders have resorted to using botox to make their camels look better. To curb that the government has introduced a fine so huge that these camel breeders will not even in their wildest dreams use botox on their camels from now on.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s King Abdulaziz Camel Festival in Rumah saw some camels being disqualified from the competition as their breeders had used botox on them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it comes to rare beauty, not everyone will have the financial means to participate in the auction and compete. People pay large sums of money up to 6-7 million, and more without exaggeration. However, it all depends on the rare beauty. The rarer, the more expensive,\u201d said Fawzan Al-Madi, head of the panel of judges at the festival.<\/p>\n
He adds \u201cThe camel is considered an old symbol of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is a source of pride for the sons of the peninsula. In the past, it represented food, clothing and transportation. It represented everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
