The fact my doctor prescribes me 84 Diclofenac at a time is tantamount to that.

You wouldn't love it quite so much if you'd seen how badly those donkeys are treated in Third World countries. Nothing remotely funny or lovely about that. :cry

Hey, it's just a donkey, how many of them would there be if they couldn't pull a cart and carry kids at the seaside - I can say one thing for sure, if they were good eating there'd be fields full of 'em. :wave

I used to know a bloke who used donkeys for carrying luggage through the Pyrenees. You trekked, the donkey took your stuff.
He said the family ate donkey, it was no different to eating horse.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

There you go! Just fodder to some folk. We are far too squemish about eating animals. I've eaten all sorts of things - Kangaroo once - bit gamey for my liking but hey foods food, just steam for the engine.

No we don't get worked like donkeys, you also get a half decent wage and are able to be some luxuries, not like the people they in these clips

The people are lucky if they get £1 a day.
