For many, the little humble donkey is quite simply a neglected, but essential, work tool for its owner. The brick carrier; the tourist transporter, the list is endless. For some, after a life of neglect and suffering, their days unfortunately end with them being sold, barbarically slaughtered, and becoming a ‘suppler of skins’ for use in the traditional Chinese ‘Egiao’ medicine market.

In this post we are simply giving pictures of the different working situations that donkeys find themselves in at different locations around the world. We also reference SPANA, – a British charity which is helping animal owners by providing free veterinary care and veterinary advice.
