[@pameladenny4733]

I never knew donkeys had such a horrendous life in Ireland. Although the USA rounds up and sends our wild horses and burros to Mexico for slaughter, just to feed mostly Japans insatiable appetite for them. This whole world just makes me so sad when I see the hideous tortures humans dream up for all of gods creatures. If you ask me the world would be a better place without humans.

Going to pet food is better than being neglected or miss-treated. They are prey animals in the wild, cats and dogs eating them from a supermarket tin is not a million miles from the natural way of things. Horses and donkeys should be more prominent in the menus of English speaking countries, if it is OK to enjoy delicious veal and lamb why be sentimental over horses and donkeys? I’d love to try foal meat.

[@larryfolloway6335]

@@2hedz77 I had a horse reject her colt and almost kick him to death because I put a halter on him. He was almost 5 months old at the time and up until then she was a very good mother. It took about a week after I removed the halter and got him started recovering before she would even let him nurse. Animals will reject their young almost as much as humans over stupid shit.

That is great that these donkeys are being adopted. Few people would bother and it is disturbing that people can turn away from the animals that they are supposed to be responsible for. There is a group in Israel that also rescue donkeys and horses. In that region donkeys and horses are treated horribly by certain people groups. Animals are nothing to them and being cruel to them is expected. The owners of that rescue have gone to very dangerous areas to rescue those animals. I hope these people will be helped with their mission to help donkeys.
