Donkey Basketball at Liberty High School

In an effort to raise funds for the Liberty High School Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter, the students and staff hosted donkey basketball on Tuesday, March 3. Crowds packed in to watch students and staff from Liberty ride donkeys to play a game of basketball in the old gym. The donkeys - wearing rubber shoes made from old contractors' boots, in what their handlers called their “tennis shoes” - were brought in by Donkey Sports, Inc., a company based in Entiat, Washington. Donkey Sports travels with the donkeys for the donkey basketball season three months of the year. (Aly Brown/ThePress)

[@amythurman7604]

😆 People still have these events? 😃 How is This cruel?! 🤔 I'm guessing those who are saying this is "cruel" haven't ever seen a polo game, or the British Ascot. The latter has injured and even killed several equines and people alike for decades 🤷 Cruel is having dogs fight until first blood. Donkey Basketball is far from "cruel", short of proper care and quality of life.

The animals are frightened. Try some empathy
