Plase watch this video to learn more about the typical myths about using donkeys as livestock guards that put them at risk for being slaughtered for their skin and meat. This video is to provide some education on the needs of donkeys and how a life as a livestock guard is not always what is best for them.

The best parts of this video besides all the helpful information are one, the narrator's enthusiasm for the animals and educating the public at large. Two and most of all, the sincere love and respect she has for these beautiful hardworking animals. God bless your herd and you.
Watching them wander around you was adorable.
It's wonderful to hear your smiling voice again! It seems like such a long time since your last video. Your love for these animals (and theirs for you) is such a blessing! Great video, very informative as usual. 🤗

Thank you so much!!! 💜💜
Really missed your videos Victoria. You give out some priceless info. Seriously thinking about about adopting a donkey of my elderly neighbors who’s wife just passed suddenly. That donkey used to bray like crazy when they’d come home. I haven’t heard him in a month now 😢
Here is a Woman who is passionate about what she does. There is a word to describe this. It's called Awesome!
Great educational video, Victoria! Thank you very much!
We just love your donkeys!
Such a fun, well presented video. Donkeys look so cheeky, they’re amusing souls, respect.
EXCELLENT, informative video!!! Donkey pairs! Yes! I am in love with Otis's sweet face and speckled nose. Cheers to Longhopes Donkey Shelter!
Looks like you have plenty of friends around there. Better than most of the friends I have 😆
Donkey tag team, I feel like I've seen that one before

Wonderful!!
Love Donkeys. I have a rescue miniature donkey. I housebroke him. It only took 1 time when he was starting to dirty, I took him to the back door & he has never dirtied ever. I have a rescue pony & a rescue miniature horse too. But it sounds like I need to get another donkey. I had 2 other regular size donkeys, but every 8 weeks for their feet to be trimmed, I had to have a Vet sedate them both, which was $200.00 EACH without the cost of the farrier. I SADLY had to get rid of them but they went to really good homes. I had another one too, she was super super old. Now you’re making me think I may need to get another donkey. Makes sense. Hay went up $5.00 a bale. I feed grass to them.
AWESOME VIDEO!!!
Thanks for advocating for donkeys. Please state the obvious...a grown adult human should not ride a donkey.
Great video. I have a nice chunk of land in southern Maine, and want to get a pair of donkeys (likely both female) to let them hang out, and because I know I would love spending time with them. Frankly I think both humans and donkeys would find a lot of interaction with one another to be very therapeutic, and as someone who has spent a few too many years in and around the city, I yearn to go back to a FT country-like environment that I grew up in as a young boy.
Awesome, thanks
Adorable and informative
Good info! Thanks for posting! 👍👍

You are the best friend of donkeys!
Wow I was very interested in donkeys. You certainly cured me of that.
Great video! People considering livestock guards need to think of it from the animal's perspective. Thank you for caring about these beautiful clever & affectionate creatures. (also, I guess I'm not such a fan of the 'random dance' idea).

😍 didn’t notice any donkeys
You have to be careful though if you have dogs. We adopted a donkey from a rescue for our small hobby farm and she brutally killed my dog. Something to be aware of.

Dogs resemble coyotes. And so we cannot expect donkeys to know the difference between a coyote and a dog. I am sorry that wherever you got your donkey from failed to inform you of that. That’s so tragic. We always share with our adopters the importance of knowing that we cannot expect donkeys to ignore their survival instinct and not react when they see a dog in their territory. Very sorry for what happened to you. 💜💜
Great videos Victoria, do you have other volunteers, seems like you do a great deal of the work.
