Is this exploitation ???
 

''Saudi Arabia has called off a camel beauty contest scheduled for later this month.''

Is it right to treat Camels just like pieces of meat ???

Should beauty contest be banned ...forever ???

Re: Is this exploitation ???
 

is this serious?
what criteria are the camels judged on? and who the hell judges them?

Re: Is this exploitation ???
 

The first to be banned worldwide should be Cat Shows...but they cancelled the camel show because of an infectious disease which apparently has killed hundreds of camels not because they no longer enjoy beauty shows.

Re: Is this exploitation ???
 

Yes this is a serious matter, the beauty competition has been canx due to sickness and deaths in camels in Saudi....as for the complexities of the competition that I am not sure, this we need the input of BE Saudi bods :D

Re: Is this exploitation ???
 

perhaps we can have a look at previous years beauty camel winners so we too can see what makes for an attractive camel

More Info for you Gedge......

An Arabian Camel Beauty Contest?
Every year in Saudi Arabia there is a beauty contest to select the Prettiest Arabian Camel. Judges look at the following qualities: health, the beauty of head, eyes, cheek-bones, legs, humps, and affection to the owner. A winning camel could be worth 500,000 United States Dollars.

Re: Is this exploitation ???
 

This depends if you've got one hump or two MH....

Re: Is this exploitation ???
 

here are the hopeful beauties...and what are the winning features of a real stunner..."The nose should be long and droop down, that's more beautiful. The ears should stand back, and the neck should be long. The hump should be high, but slightly to the back."

So there you go...
