I love hanging out with my donkeys, but they genuinely seem a little bored. Not sure what to do about that. I spend time with them, but given the fact that they’re so emotionally intelligent I wonder if it’s just not enough. But animals cost a lot of money and require time and I’m not at a point that I can take more in.

This particular guy came from a kill pen.
There are so many burros and donkeys that are in corrals across the United States waiting for homes. 😢

Please don’t buy an animal from a breeder when there are so many that need homes.
Thanks. 😊

It’s true… donkeys don’t like to play basketball. 🏀 👎🫏

Because we caused such a stir amongst the anti-rescue crowd, keyboard warriors, internet trolls and uninformed folks who are determined not to do better once they know better:

Here's more to cause pearl clutching. Get your pearls ready and fingers warmed up. 🤣

None of these "professions" promote correct nor kind donkey husbandry for many reasons. Not just what we have written on this single infographic. End stop.

Once we learn more about donkeys, it is our duty as stewards of these amazing longears to care for them better. This means correct husbandry in terms of feed, companions, workload, hoof care and veterinary care, and presentation to the public.
