For thousands of years the donkey has helped mankind and for thousands of years the donkey has been abused, overworked, mistreated and ridiculed. The donkey sanctuary is the least we can do.

I have always had an affection for donkeys. They are an intelligent often devoted animal that can maintain a life long relationship. They really are a special animal.

I too have have the same affection for these beautiful creatures. Just a few days ago I visited a donkey sanctuary, although it was closed due to Covid. One donkey came to me at the fence after I softly whistled for some time. I caressed its head, its nose, the side of its face, and could tell that the donkey enjoyed this attention. After leaving and then returning an hour later, I once again approached the fence, whistled, and this time he came immediately to me ! Another donkey also approached, but my donkey gently nudged him away, he wanted ALL my attention !

Donkeys are the 'orangutans' of the equines: smarter than you think, quiet, affectionate, and strong. They have a sense of play when around family

You can see in the eyes of the first guy that he truely found his passion. :D He really is smiling from the inside. Lovely.

The veterinarian seems an absolutely beautiful & kind man as does the owner - Thank God for kind people & may God Bless them.

The workers are such good people, this sanctuary is definitely on my list of places to visit!

They are looked after so well god bless you all 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Well, I've heard about their legendary kicking skills. Thanks, Chloe.

Human civilization was built on the back of the donkey. The domestication of donkeys preceded that of horses. I love donkeys too, and raise and train them. Interesting video...thank you.

I am so glad that donkeys are finally acknowledged as wonderful and loving beings. And for sure not mistreated. I am however a bit saddened that they are killed for food. The owner seems to really care for them. To me it is important that they are treated with kindness and lots of love. Please try not to sell them for food consumption. I did like the video

Aren't they lovely Animals, breaks my heart to see when they are mistreated.

donkey are very loving

He loves the money he makes for slater for food or who knows what. If he really loved them he would protect and shelter them. Sale to only good homes and cut down on the breeding. He could sale their milk for money not their lives. Him smiling with soft music happily playing in the background as the poor animals are crowded around nipping and kicking at each other. What a happy life. They love it , says He.

Awesome

I have an all black mini donkey, his name is napoleon’ , sometimes I call him a little bandit, I loved hearing how the all black donkeys were smugglers donkeys!

awesome

Is so sad to see donkeys been so exploited and badly treated. Donkeys are one of the most relaxing animals that nature could have created. My grandfather have an old donkey that was given to him and i used to go to see him every time i was down. Animal abuse and children abuse does break my heart. We have to be so grateful that this organization exists to protect the onw they can. I work voluntary with abandon dogs.

human and donkeys had explore world during travel

Everyone moves to the big cities to Make more money. When will we realize that living the simple life, in beautiful villages like this one with animals and lots of outdoors is truly living? I will be getting a donkey and supporting the cause.

Might be similar to domesticated pigs/wild hogs dichotomy. If you take a domestic pig and let him loose in the wild, within a year it literally transforms into a wild boar, with tugs and shaggy fur. Wild donkeys probably had some physiological differences from how they are now after thousands of years of domestic evolution.

If donkeys can't survive without their hooves being trimmed regularly then how do wild donkeys survive?

Eric Turner My donkey has lived for 22 years in California Sierra foothills. A couple winters ago he got sore feet during the wet season because he was traveling through mud to get to his hay. I changed his feeding and barn location. So far so good. I plan to put down some sharp gravel on a strip of concrete along his path to wear his hoofs. I wonder how long I should make the strip.

He said that they only take 1 litre of milk per donkey per day in order not to shortchange the foal's nutrition. Mammals only lactate when they have recently given birth to offspring and until said offspring begin eating solid food, humans included.

I especially like donkeys, more so than horses. And I was enjoying the video, happy for what these ranchers and sanctuaries are doing for them, up until donkey meat. I will not do that! I eat meat, but that just doesn’t seem right.

Why not do your own research in future. There are also dromedary camels in North Africa and the Middle East. Obviously, they are domesticated also. There is also an African rat they have trained to detect land mines and to cross landmine fields without stepping on them, and no I am NOT making that up, lol!! 🤭. There are also hunting and herding dog breeds from the African continent. Some East Indian and Middle Eastern people keep cheetahs as pets. (No, we don't approve, but it is done.)

Donkè

The donkeys in Santorini in Greece are mistreated terribly by the owners, they are used for hauling fat tourists up a long hill while a perfectly good cable car system runs along side them. The donkey have no shade, filthy green water between them and filthy wire is used as to dress them, (bit etc) excuse my ignorance on the names of the garb they and horses wear. When the ride is over they are whipped down at speed were they fall and suffer injuries. The tourist walking up suffer getting out of their way. One lady died. Never go to Greece or Crete they treat their pets terribly. Tourists are traumatised. The rescuers there are snowed under with appalling cases of cruelty. But you don’t see that in tourist adverts. 🤨

the eating of these donkeys is really hard to accept. Why is this happening?

The same reason people eat cows and pigs? Italy is not squeamish about eating equines, it's a part of their culture for a long time. They eat horse too in Italy.

I was enjoying this documentary until I saw that donkeys are used for meat. It makes me want to become a vegetarian.

you keep talking over his italian! talk over that other guy! it's all greek to me!!

No one should eat donkeys. Why eat them.

So father and son in Italy are basically just running a business including slaughtering donkeys they don’t deem useful for breeding or sale. Wonder why there is no footage here of such smart and sensitive animals being dragged off, terrified, to be slaughtered? Meanwhile, the idiotic narrater soothingly intones that this slaughter is necessary “for the good of the race”. This is the difference between an ultimately cruel and selfish business posing as warmth and light, and an actual sanctuary where donkeys would not be bred but cared for with compassion, for life. If you need to breed limited numbers so they don’t die out (assuming there are no more donkeys who need to be rescued) it’s possible to do so in numbers that don’t require slaughter. Don’t present donkeys as if you care about them and then pander to an operation that breeds them in part to kill them.
