Donkey Sanctuary






So today I came across this beautiful little website for a donkey sanctuary in Devon.
You can play games, sponsor/adopt donkeys, watch loads of adorable donkey videos and just learn about donkeys in general!

Donkeys go through so much cruelty every year, being used for entertainment purposes (Blackpool beaches etc) and being held in small stables with barely any room to move.

* Must add that I do not know if Blackpools donkeys in particular are cooped up in small places. I also have just read that they are checked every few months or so for any signs of cruelty/disease etc.
(But they surely can't be very happy walking around the beach with little kids on their backs all day :(!)

Help stop cruelty for these poor, defenceless animals <3
