For thousands of years the donkey has helped mankind and for thousands of years the donkey has been abused, overworked, mistreated and ridiculed. The donkey sanctuary is the least we can do.
I have always had an affection for donkeys. They are an intelligent often devoted animal that can maintain a life long relationship. They really are a special animal.
I too have have the same affection for these beautiful creatures. Just a few days ago I visited a donkey sanctuary, although it was closed due to Covid. One donkey came to me at the fence after I softly whistled for some time. I caressed its head, its nose, the side of its face, and could tell that the donkey enjoyed this attention. After leaving and then returning an hour later, I once again approached the fence, whistled, and this time he came immediately to me ! Another donkey also approached, but my donkey gently nudged him away, he wanted ALL my attention !
God bless the vets that treat donkeys and other large farm breeds. Their passion is so strong, they allow themselves to be exposed to radiation while X-raying the animals. The animals themselves are only exposed to a little but the vets are exposed over and over again. 🙏 thank you for your work!
Human civilization was built on the back of the donkey. The domestication of donkeys preceded that of horses. I love donkeys too, and raise and train them. Interesting video...thank you.
I am so glad that donkeys are finally acknowledged as wonderful and loving beings. And for sure not mistreated. I am however a bit saddened that they are killed for food. The owner seems to really care for them. To me it is important that they are treated with kindness and lots of love. Please try not to sell them for food consumption. I did like the video
Thank u ma'am Great touchy story of this gentle 4 legged friend of humans for 1000 or more years. I regret for not understanding donkey nature to its core, because of misleading info such stupid n stubborn etc.? Yes it needs to be preserved. Jussojuan
@@theproudONE92 I think you are right on that. I must have either messed some of the dialogue while being on the phone or something. I'm a big fan for all animals and do not approve of any kind of breeding them for food. Thank's
If I can ever afford my own land here in the US, I'd love some donkeys as they seem so kind, and while I like horses too but they're kind of big and scary to me lol.
They absolutely hate canines and sometimes felines and would kill them if they don't recognized the animals if it crossed into their territorial spaces.
Is so sad to see donkeys been so exploited and badly treated. Donkeys are one of the most relaxing animals that nature could have created. My grandfather have an old donkey that was given to him and i used to go to see him every time i was down. Animal abuse and children abuse does break my heart. We have to be so grateful that this organization exists to protect the onw they can. I work voluntary with abandon dogs.
He loves the money he makes for slater for food or who knows what. If he really loved them he would protect and shelter them. Sale to only good homes and cut down on the breeding. He could sale their milk for money not their lives. Him smiling with soft music happily playing in the background as the poor animals are crowded around nipping and kicking at each other. What a happy life. They love it , says He.

I have an all black mini donkey, his name is napoleon’ , sometimes I call him a little bandit, I loved hearing how the all black donkeys were smugglers donkeys!
Everyone moves to the big cities to Make more money. When will we realize that living the simple life, in beautiful villages like this one with animals and lots of outdoors is truly living? I will be getting a donkey and supporting the cause.
He said that they only take 1 litre of milk per donkey per day in order not to shortchange the foal's nutrition. Mammals only lactate when they have recently given birth to offspring and until said offspring begin eating solid food, humans included.
Not happy that the animals are butchered why can people just look after them and use their manure apparently it's worth alot. So glad I support Animal Aide Abroad, who rescue and protect these beautiful animals from humans
it's so hard to see the harm that has been done to them ... how I wish there'd be legislation (and enforcement) to prevent/stop this ... damn some people really do suck
Eric Turner My donkey has lived for 22 years in California Sierra foothills. A couple winters ago he got sore feet during the wet season because he was traveling through mud to get to his hay. I changed his feeding and barn location. So far so good. I plan to put down some sharp gravel on a strip of concrete along his path to wear his hoofs. I wonder how long I should make the strip.
GOD BLESS THE GOOD PEOPLE ON EARTH FOR THEY WILL TAKE OVER THE EARTH ONCE EVIL DOERS ARE UNDER WATER A HAPPY MAN IS HE MAKE SURE SOME ARE SPAYED FOR ALL THE BEST INTELLIGENT CIVILIZED ARE WITH YOU AND WILL JOIN FORCES TO GLORIFY MOTHER EARTH AND ALL ITS CREATURES OF CREATIONS UPON IT>
I especially like donkeys, more so than horses. And I was enjoying the video, happy for what these ranchers and sanctuaries are doing for them, up until donkey meat. I will not do that! I eat meat, but that just doesn’t seem right.
Might be similar to domesticated pigs/wild hogs dichotomy. If you take a domestic pig and let him loose in the wild, within a year it literally transforms into a wild boar, with tugs and shaggy fur. Wild donkeys probably had some physiological differences from how they are now after thousands of years of domestic evolution.
They live to be 40? Whoa! It's a commitment to own a donkey, isn't it. I am glad there are sanctuaries or them. I couldn't eat donkey meat, I think. But Id give the milk or cheese a try.
Why not do your own research in future. There are also dromedary camels in North Africa and the Middle East. Obviously, they are domesticated also. There is also an African rat they have trained to detect land mines and to cross landmine fields without stepping on them, and no I am NOT making that up, lol!! 🤭. There are also hunting and herding dog breeds from the African continent. Some East Indian and Middle Eastern people keep cheetahs as pets. (No, we don't approve, but it is done.)
cant be all that kind if he allows or does HObling!! that first donkey by the tree was hobbled! hobbling is cruel and rescritct the animal from walking or running away if threatened!!
The same reason people eat cows and pigs? Italy is not squeamish about eating equines, it's a part of their culture for a long time. They eat horse too in Italy.
Sounds nice, looks nice. Even getting a self propelled income business from it, impressive. Thats needed to maintain a good wellfare for the animals. But then the old guy started talking about ...donkeylovers. Heeey, what did you mean by that !?
The donkeys in Santorini in Greece are mistreated terribly by the owners, they are used for hauling fat tourists up a long hill while a perfectly good cable car system runs along side them. The donkey have no shade, filthy green water between them and filthy wire is used as to dress them, (bit etc) excuse my ignorance on the names of the garb they and horses wear. When the ride is over they are whipped down at speed were they fall and suffer injuries. The tourist walking up suffer getting out of their way. One lady died. Never go to Greece or Crete they treat their pets terribly. Tourists are traumatised. The rescuers there are snowed under with appalling cases of cruelty. But you don’t see that in tourist adverts. 🤨
You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel.
Thank you for sharing the video. Thank you for taking care of the donkeys, but when you show the milk and the meat from donkeys, it looks like you do it all for business. I hope I am wrong.
So father and son in Italy are basically just running a business including slaughtering donkeys they don’t deem useful for breeding or sale. Wonder why there is no footage here of such smart and sensitive animals being dragged off, terrified, to be slaughtered? Meanwhile, the idiotic narrater soothingly intones that this slaughter is necessary “for the good of the race”. This is the difference between an ultimately cruel and selfish business posing as warmth and light, and an actual sanctuary where donkeys would not be bred but cared for with compassion, for life. If you need to breed limited numbers so they don’t die out (assuming there are no more donkeys who need to be rescued) it’s possible to do so in numbers that don’t require slaughter. Don’t present donkeys as if you care about them and then pander to an operation that breeds them in part to kill them.
For thousands of years the donkey has helped mankind and for thousands of years the donkey has been abused, overworked, mistreated and ridiculed. The donkey sanctuary is the least we can do.

Cutting donkeys hurf
You can see in the eyes of the first guy that he truely found his passion. :D
He really is smiling from the inside.
Lovely.
The veterinarian seems an absolutely beautiful & kind man as does the owner - Thank God for kind people & may God Bless them.
The workers are such good people, this sanctuary is definitely on my list of places to visit!
They are looked after so well god bless you all 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love donkeys
Your video shows endless love and affection for the creatures of this world.
Donkeys are the 'orangutans' of the equines: smarter than you think, quiet, affectionate, and strong. They have a sense of play when around family
God bless the vets that treat donkeys and other large farm breeds. Their passion is so strong, they allow themselves to be exposed to radiation while X-raying the animals. The animals themselves are only exposed to a little but the vets are exposed over and over again. 🙏 thank you for your work!

somehow they have to earn money hm?
Oh shut the hell up lady. Like they Are gonna stop eating donkey because it "saddened" you. Those people don't give a shit about your feelings.
@@jessiehitman5816 you shut the hell up. Donkeys arent normal flesh food. They are workers and help the farmer
I'm ot sadden they are butchered for food because I adds to the reason to keep the breed relevant
Adele Zierler agree I just adore donkeys!😻
I love donkeys - We rescued two - Ricky and Bobby.. both are about 3.5 years old and they are so gentle...
Sweet animals! Wish I could have one!
Good job God bless this is truly beautiful
Thank u ma'am

Thank you to the owner in Cyprus, explaining how they care for the donkey's and making sure they are happy and loved
Calm down they dont care about them that much

Me too !

Oh shut yo ass up lady
awesome
Thank you for loving them i have 2 BLM donkeys here in nv there are so many more to be rescued.dont like to hear about the meat😥
Why on earth do we have to resort to using donkeys for the milk or meat? We should just appreciate them for who they are.
800 is no joke
donkeys are an asset to people..... pun intended 😝
I see what you did there
Can female donkeys produce milk without being pregnant ?
He said that they only take 1 litre of milk per donkey per day in order not to shortchange the foal's nutrition. Mammals only lactate when they have recently given birth to offspring and until said offspring begin eating solid food, humans included.
Not happy that the animals are butchered why can people just look after them and use their manure apparently it's worth alot. So glad I support Animal Aide Abroad, who rescue and protect these beautiful animals from humans
i work in a donkey shelter, and that's what we do here, it's surprisingly profitable
it's so hard to see the harm that has been done to them ... how I wish there'd be legislation (and enforcement) to prevent/stop this ... damn some people really do suck
Hello
If donkeys can't survive without their hooves being trimmed regularly then how do wild donkeys survive?
Eric Turner My donkey has lived for 22 years in California Sierra foothills. A couple winters ago he got sore feet during the wet season because he was traveling through mud to get to his hay. I changed his feeding and barn location. So far so good.
I plan to put down some sharp gravel on a strip of concrete along his path to wear his hoofs. I wonder how long I should make the strip.
in the wild they walk much farther distances in their day to day activities

nature and natural things ae only peace of mind
....
How did they adventually migrate from Africa to Central America?
Same way as did Spanish or Portugeuese language
i want to visit donkey resorvior
do you think he thought he was shrek growing up, a donkey being his best friend and all
What are the breeds which is good for milk ??
Coyote: "... Noman's land."
800!!!!!!!
I especially like donkeys, more so than horses. And I was enjoying the video, happy for what these ranchers and sanctuaries are doing for them, up until donkey meat. I will not do that! I eat meat, but that just doesn’t seem right.
Randy Bingham Yes, they especially like Mr. No-Shoulders. Heehee.
question.... what happens to the hooves of wild donkeys that never get trimmed? how does evolution/their biology fix this?
wild donkeys are wild and their hooves are trimmed natural by walking but domestic donkeys need help simple
I would guess their natural environment is rougher and they must be on the go all day to feed themselves. So the hooves get wore down.
Eeyore brought me here
Jesus why donkeys hoofs keep growing?
Not a documentary or wildlife it’s an infomercial.
"Donkeys are an ASSet to people"
I see what you did there ;-)
Donkeys are also called Ass in the old times. You can google it
@@greenmancroc7914 really
But the question is how did these animals which need all that care survive before they were domisticated!
Might be similar to domesticated pigs/wild hogs dichotomy. If you take a domestic pig and let him loose in the wild, within a year it literally transforms into a wild boar, with tugs and shaggy fur. Wild donkeys probably had some physiological differences from how they are now after thousands of years of domestic evolution.
Jesus rode a donkey thst was never ridden before.
Donkeys and Tourists? Mostly that is not a very good combination. For the animals. When I look at what is done to Elefants...
They live to be 40? Whoa! It's a commitment to own a donkey, isn't it. I am glad there are sanctuaries or them. I couldn't eat donkey meat, I think. But Id give the milk or cheese a try.
Also they sometimes live to be over 60 😊

You lost me at donkey meat
wow , nice ,
please do not send any to china ,
i love donkeys .
cant be all that kind if he allows or does HObling!! that first donkey by the tree was hobbled! hobbling is cruel and rescritct the animal from walking or running away if threatened!!
donkeys are not given status as they desereve
They all have a cross on their back when they carried Jesus in Bethlehem!
the eating of these donkeys is really hard to accept. Why is this happening?
The same reason people eat cows and pigs? Italy is not squeamish about eating equines, it's a part of their culture for a long time. They eat horse too in Italy.

Cuidado para personas quien gustan burros, hehe

People depend on meat to survive all around the world. Some just eat donkey, just like some chicken
Some of my ancestors ate donkey meat to survive. Otherwise I would not exist.
