A bunch of pageant camels have been disqualified from a beauty contest — and the chance to win $66 million — over elective surgeries they, the camels, actually didn’t elect to have

The Associated Press reports that judges at Saudi Arabia’s King Abdulaziz Camel Festival are “escalating their clamp down on artificially enhanced camels” after “specialized and advanced” technology detected about 40 seemingly Facetuned contestants. I know what you are thinking: Hmmmm. Also, What? Indeed!
Please allow the AP to elaborate. Each year, breeders gather at the festival to show off their “most beautiful camels,” hoping to net the big prize. Breeders must rely on their camels’ distinctive and, above all, natural beauty; they are strictly barred from getting contestants face-lifts and injections, though that has not stopped some stage parents from resorting to extremes.
The festival has punished “deception in the beautification of camels” before, disqualifying 12 would-be queens in 2018. That probably isn’t any comfort to the glamorous disbarred camels, though.
