Beauty contest for goats begins in Saudi Arabia
Riyadh - A beauty competition for goats began on Wednesday in Saudi Arabia, as part of an auction bringing together traders and herders in the holy Muslim city of Mecca.
Auction supervisor Fawzi al-Subhi said that over 170 animals are competing for the coveted title 'most beautiful goat.' He expects the winner to be sold for at least 18,000 dollars.
According to al-Shams newspaper, the four-legged contestants are purebred Hijazi goats, a distinct breed named after the province in which Mecca is located.
Pastoralists and their flocks still roam the Hijaz region and other parts of the oil-rich Arabian kingdom.
The purpose of the competition is to raise awareness about the breed, said al-Subhi.

What are the chances that the winner(s) whom own these "beauty" contestants will go home from this contest to flog their wives?

Saudi - where the men are men and the goats are scared. Yep, if these goats know what's good for them they will try to appear as ugly as they can.

I hear that in the late 1800’s the muslims invented the condom by using the lower intestine of a goat. I also hear that the British later improved on the design by actually removing it from the goat before use

This is the kind of madness that comes from forcing your all of your women to cover up every square inch of skin. Those poor goats.
