Giving wild donkeys a new life

[@2008Rome]

I'm so glad this was featured on CBS Sunday Morning. Donkeys need all the support they can get. Thank you for helping them!

[@michelleirvin5420]

So happy to see Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue highlighted here. I've donated to Peaceful Valley for years, I'm on their mailer. I have their 2024 baby donkey calendar hanging at my workplace. If you can, please donate, too. As you can see, its for a worthy cause.

[@JohnNiemsMusic]

I too have given to them for years and have their calendars as well! Mark Meyers and his wife and staff are super kind people!

[@stacyscooby8488]

awww i am glad that there are good people helping theses amazing beautiful animals never seen a donkey up close .

[@bbingtube]

I will help this man. I took a job at a horse ranch couple years ago to keep busy during the pandemic. We had a few donkeys and a race mule along with the 70 horses . They were absolutely my fav. They liked company, playing, very smart, and no horse ever beyed at me from a quarter mile down the road because they were happy to see me ❤

[@sassyclassyjessy]

I loved how Mark Meyers showed kindness and love for this noble animal through his last comment. He is truly a humane individual.

[@williamkimmer6221]

Thanks to ALL who help. ❤👍👍

[@choosehope8729]

Mark getting choked up about his purpose helping donkeys is so touching. Beautiful animal and good humans helping them.

[@williammain5170]

Thank goodness for people like Thelma Johnston.

[@starrystarrynight9822]

And, SCHOOL CHILDREN, who joined in!!!!! How awesome is that!!?

[@Beth-zg6gb]

Huge blessings to these donkey and horse rescue folks! 🫏🐎💕

[@carolinedudek12]

Donkeys are wonderful guard animals for other livestock; sheep, goats, cattle. horses, chickens.....They're protective of their herd/family (whoever, or whatever animal they bond to) and have the courage and tenacity to run-off coyotes and other predators.

[@harrietweber2520]

I love watching them on KZbin. They are cute. I like to hear them bray.

[@As-uh6hx]

Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue is so worthy of being highlighted. I’ve been donating for years, I’ve read so many of their stories of how they help these sadly neglected creatures. And donkeys are so lovable and fun to be around.

[@rses916]

Donkeys are so underrated ❤

[@lynnyhen]

I had no idea how awesome donkeys are!!

[@betticat]

Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue does amazing work. Consider donating to this great organization!

[@LibertyWines]

Wonderful tribute & work to help & preserve their history & role in North America. Great story & journalism!

[@gerardparker4220]

Wow donkeys are probably the most important animal in American history. The cleared the land and built the foundation of this country. God Bless Mark, that’s amazing 11k adoptions!

[@lindahermstad5375]

God Bless and hats off to Mark Meyers " the Donkey Guy " What a wonderful man !!!

[@pleka]

Really got the guy choked up at the end. Bless them and their work.

[@JeffreyGillespie]

Mark Meyers is my new favorite person

[@Higgins8]

Wonderful people 🫏

[@easylift1]

Thank God for saints like Mark and Amy!

[@williammain5170]

Also thank goodness for the Meyers family.

[@steveconn]

Sweet guys. Be nice to donkeys ❤

[@simplytruth9729]

Thank you beautiful people who are sooo very compassionate to these sweet animals. Blessings to you-

[@rubytuesdayphoenix]

I've had such a soft spot for donkeys ever since seeing the movie Au Hasard Balthasar and reading the Christmas Donkey little golden book as a kid. They're so underrated as a species.

[@kelseymariebell1357]

My father lives for this!

[@bajatube57]

We have wild Burros in Moreno Valley CA 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@velvetbees]

Mules wete used extensively in war, like in WWI. They were the difference between winning and losing. They are loyal and brave pack animals. Willing to be soldiers alongside humans when they are loved and appreciated.

[@kal2487]

I want to adopt a donkey!!

[@Kim-lc3fv]

Donkeys are wonderful.❤

[@dothedeedee]

Sweet babies!!! ❤❤❤

[@annettecarlin4800]

Cute donkeys🦒🐓

[@jenn976]

The Meyers are angels on earth. I’m so glad to hear they’ve been able to adopt so many donkeys out to homes. The BLM isn’t bad at all re: their program. I’ve seen those people in action at their adoption programs and they treat the animals very well (wild horses too). You get a great deal because for a little money. You get a donkey or horse with ALL their vaccinations, health check-ups, and more. Great program.

[@santiagorodriguez3330]

God bless you

[@bloatedsodium7301]

I once walked into work and said “guys, I brought little donkeys for breakfast.” The confusion/horror on their faces was hilarious. Then I explained they were burritos. 😂

[@starrystarrynight9822]

Seen some awful, awful stories of abuse of donkeys. Organizations like this are essential!

[@chrisaguilera1564]

We have wild donkeys here in the hills of Colton CA.

[@margieerwin5798]

Got it! Thank you for this report.

[@Cassandra-..-]

Wish you’d included information on the donkey skin trade threatening donkeys worldwide, and Oscar’s Place Donkey Rescue and Adoption Center in Hopland, CA. I’ve come to learn that donkeys are more like dogs, personality-wise, than horses, even though they’re equines. Very emotional, bonding beings.

[@bobb6313]

Should have went to Oatman, AZ and showed them there. Part of the tourist attraction there as well.

[@PhoebeFayRuthLouise]

The US needs to do better for wild donkeys and wild horses!

[@brunoramos9747]

Do you know that the donkeys were loved by God himself😊😊

[@ShirleyPotts-ud3nb]

Donkeys are very special

[@brunoramos9747]

❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@lisaramdass4382]

The most important thing that they missed in this report is that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. He could have picked a horse but chose a donkey. Why? I love my 2 miniture donkeys, and guess what both have crosses on their backs. Thank you, Peaceful Valley, for taking care of all the homeless donkeys. Please share and support.

[@catherinearmstrong388]

Gus looks like Gene Hackman.😊

[@Awakeningspirit20]

When it shows up in your backyard wanting waffles...

[@MrSirlulzalot]

They're feral not wild, but go on. ❤

[@AngelicaCline-i6d]

Bee ty not bay ty. I'm 3rd generation Nevada. My family has lived in this area of the west for over 100 years. The donkeys are cool just don't hit them with your car. They can be jerks, horse are easier. Mules can be sweet hearts.

[@susannpatton2893]

Leave them babies alone. Let them be. Horses too. Our freedom symbols and yall want to get rid of them. Typical behavior.

[@0413deborah]

Babies grow up and have babies... just like feral cats. Think of overpopulation and scarcity of food and water. They are healthier being protected. Hopefully, this will move people who can to adopt.

[@OGodTheTrex]

Jackson: had 7 cane fights on tables for the state of the union addressments

[@gathrightcrystal]

What about the 🐐 can we adopt the 🐐😎🥃🚬

[@mwyatt222]

Read what Project 2025 has planned for wild animals including horses. Spoiler alert. lts sick.

[@DavidMiller-kf1ss]

Just say donkey if you can't pronounce burro

[@gambit85]

MULE!...NAG!

[@chrisleblanc581]

I suppose someone should next pass legislation to protect feral hogs in the south, then Asian carp, snake heads, tilapia, pythons and iguanas. Getting sentimental about these kinds of species makes no sense.

[@laraine8857]

Well, no sense to you, perhaps, but it does to the millions of us capable of love and empathy.

[@Seekthetruth3000]

The symbol of the Democratic Party should be Karl Marx, not a donkey.

Hey no I don't want a 🫏 I got Biden 😎🥃🚬
