Saudis ban botoxed camels from beauty contests

Saudi Arabia has banned 40 camels from a beauty pageant after it emerged that they received botox injections and facelifts.

Declaring war on cosmetically enhanced camels at the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival, Saudi authorities also ejected breeders who used muscle-boosting hormones and inflated camel body parts.

The pageant’s organisers said they will “impose strict penalties on manipulators”. Camels compete each year for a $66m (£50m) prize pot and the title of Miss Camel.
