I stopped by the library yesterday evening and I found a distressing leaflet, part of which is shown here. It is a great shame that, in the 21st century, some animals, particularly beasts of burden, are so badly treated in some parts of the world.
Whilst yes, such animals as donkeys are needed by some to earn their family's daily crust,what doesn't seem to be realised is that a fit, healthy and happy donkey would be far more beneficial to their owners than a sick and ailing one.
All life is precious and as such animals should be treated with a lot more respect, regardless of what religion (or not) their owner's follow.
We humans are supposed to have come a long way since the 'War Horse' syndrome of 100 years ago. So why aren't some people reflecting a more positive and caring attitude towards the working donkey?
It beggars belief that world governments even allow creatures to be treated in such a dismal and cruel way. Poverty is no excuse for abuse of animals such as that being inflicted on the donkey shown in the photos contained within this leaflet. It is truly sickening.
