Yesterday I visited a local donkey sanctuary, one that I used to volunteer at. Joey, a standard donkey, was always my favourite. He stood still by the fence, allowing all the visitors to pet and touch him, I wrapped my arms around his head and cuddled him. These animals are surely one of the most amazing creatures on earth, absolutely smart, fearless, intuitive, affectionate. Joey was beaten with a baseball bat by his previous owner and then abandoned, tied to a tree in a field. It took him awile to trust humans again, he wouldn't come near for a long time. But now, the sanctuary owner says she would 100 % trust Joey with a young toddler or infant!
Oh my gosh. That makes me want to vomit. People can be so cruel. I really don’t understand it. Thank you for helping take care of him. Glad he’s doing so much better!!
I knew little about donkeys, and heard the stereotypes that they're slow, stubborn and not too bright. Everyone knows that to be called an ass or jackass is a put-down. But I sensed that donkeys were good companions from seeing other videos. Now I have a real appreciation for their intelligence, strength, durability and loyalty. Love those big kind eyes and those great radar ears!
may be they feel how we feel about them. many farmers don't love animals, beat them and treat them like a object without soul and feelings. no wonder why they are stubborn. i love animals they feel it and i have good relationship with them, but its not only love, one should know body language.
@@konstantinepetelava1221 And it's expecting them to be something they're not. People want donkeys to obey mindlessly and respond like a horse - which can easily be prodded with whips and insistence. Donkeys will just freeze and refuse where a horse obliges. Same with different types of dogs, if you're a master at training border collies and german shepherds, but then get the task of dealing with an akita, basenji or ovcharka, you'll think that dog is "stupid" and "stubborn". No, it just thinks and functions differently.
This has to be the most interesting information about Donkeys I've ever seen and heard. But then there's the way it was photographed that was absolutely amazing. Thank You and Hats Off.
I used to take care of a donkey and two horses. They all had a paddock big enough to run around in. If one of them somehow got out, the others would raise hell. One day I heard the horses sounding the alarm and went out to find Isaac, the donkey, running loose outside the paddock. The gate was closed! I couldn't figure out how he got out, but I caught him and put him back in the paddock, making sure the gate was closed, latched and locked. Went back in the house and 10 minutes later, the horses were sounding the alarm again. I went out and saw Isaac prancing around like he was the sharpes t thing on four legs. I caught him again and led him back into the paddock. I told him he was a little shit and that he thought he was sooo smart. Then I said, "" Okay, smart-ass, why don't you show me how you got out?" He walked over to a grown-over corner of the paddock and walked right through a hidden hole in the fence and turned and looked at me very smugly. I stood there and LMAO!! Donkeys are very, very smart!
I've watched a lot of donkey videos. This thoughtful film introduced me to a wider world of how donkeys are suited to different environments and tasks. Side note: I was surprised that Snowflake's trail training was done solo, and not in the company of a veteran donkey. I was also surprised to learn that donkey's do not have waterproof coats. And I was impressed at how donkeys can take over and perform tasks with little or no human supervision.
Wonderful film, beautiful scenery. I grew up with a wonderful donkey, my best friend for many years. Unfortunately they are very useful worldwide, but also one of the most over worked and abused worldwide.
I adore Donkeys, Mules and Burros! Also, a little horse in WWII would transport military items back & forth on the front line of combat, just like this donkey is doing in this video. Her name was Sgt Reckless. There are videos on YT about her amazing story.
I never knew so many amazing characters of these wonderful and hard working animals, I repeated twice and enjoyed watching, felt very happy thanks for such good documentary🎉
I've had the privilege to take daily care of a she-donkey for 4 years. Before that, I was already very familiar with horses, but this was very different. Donkeys can not be made to do what one wants, one needs to establish trust and affection with them. Once that's done, one can ask them almost anything. She was very unyielding towards my dog Kate, who on her side, was sociable with almost any other animals. I've spent much of my life educatin dogs and socialising them and love to do so. With this donkey it was quite a job, but a pleasant and rewarding one. With my cats there never was a problem, one of them even played on the donkey's back and kept falling off when he tried to catch her swishing tail. At other times he'd just sit on a fence post with her sniffing at him. I learned a lot from her and that's what it's all about with animals : learning from them how to befriend them. I have a very fond memory of a circus elephant who was standing alone, tied to a picket with one foot and visibly bored. I walked up to her cautiously looking at how she reacted. When finally I stepped clos and stroked her trunk, she embraced me with it,and snorted gently at me.
Your narrative is exactly how I think and feel about animals!! Despite the ignorance of most humans, I love, love, love studying the similarities between animals and human behavior!!! Oh my gosh, do you happen to know the best universities that teach the connections between human and animal behavior? Thanks!
@@susanchoelzel8315 I don't know of any universities which teach that specefically, but some vets I've known who have studied in Lyon have been trained particularly well by a female professor whose name I can't recall at the moment to go about contacts with dogs.
I had a donkey and he was an a 2:11 sshole. Killed my dog and cat . I was working on something and he snuck up on me rearing and hoofed me my back. He no longer has a happy home . He's out on 100 ac gets no grain has some horses that are as mean as he is .
Donkeys are fascinating animals. I have trusted them to watch over the goat herd I tended just before I left for the military. No one or thing ever messed with the goats while my donkey was on guard duty. He was a brazen animal and never let anyone come near my goats. And I wanted to buy another German Shepherd dog, what was I thinking? Very nice documentary about Donkeys.
i have been a horse person for my entire life i though donkeys were silly and rude. i was so wrong!!!!@ I did not know they were so intelligent, useful and beautiful. i was stupid! now i am in love with donkeys and totally impressed. thank you for enlightening me
This video is amazing! The information and pictures about donkeys are extremely interesting and expand my knowledge about these lovely friends. Thank you SLICE WILD for providing such an interesting and informative document!
A rainbow, why? Do I put up some flag that says I'm a straight man and like women. Nope, nobody cares and most don't want to see your freaky rainbow. No wonder my country has gone to pot. Shameful....
That was a worthy doco. I've never seen anything so complimentary about the donkey all in one place. Here is near an hour's worth to enjoy. Thank for the upload.
Great documentary! So picturesque and great narration 😊 I love learning more about donkeys. They’re stunning! One thing I love about them is that unlike horses, they can adjust their path based on the width of their pack. So they aren’t slowed down so much by catching their load on branches and obstacles!
I love donkeys and I love this narrator so I immediately knew this film would be amazing. One thing I've read about donkeys not specifically mentioned is that oftentimes they are used to protect herds from wolves and danger because they are so brave & ferocious. What an amazing animal who has been a close companion throughout history but is today looked as stupid. I think that says more about us & where we are at in society.
Thank you 🤠 For an Amazing presentation..📽 Ive been farming my whole life 🧙♂️ An learn more with your storys than I ever knew .. What a Great Job You accomplished In Blending this story together 👏 Thank you...👍
This was excellent! I really enjoy this and I thank you for helping me to learn so much about one of my favorite animals! I am amazed at their incredible memory and stamina! ❤
This was wonderful. The connection between people and donkeys is heart-warming as is the lives of those who live such serene bonds with their donkeys. Thank you for this wonderful doco.
So, if donkeys could learn to sheer sheep, card the wool, spin threads, dye, and weave, their owners could be doing other tasks. Like, say, learning to join the 21st century, skipping right over the 1,000 years in between. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
@@jackvoss5841The number of people that would need or want a donkey for practical purposes is probably fairly small. I could dream up a scenario or two where someone might want to run a pack string or use a donkey as a draft animal on a homestead, or something.
Always wanted a couple donkeys but sadly was never in one place longing enough to care for them. Neighbor had 4 donkeys and 2 burrows, they seemed to get along great, that was 60 years ago, too late for me know. Great video!!!
They are some of the most precious animals in the world. And I can't help myself but fall in love with all of them. And I can't decide whether they're my favorite animal in the world or they have a little bit of competition. I might say but they are some definest. Animals ever created by The universe.
Merveilleux animal, j'ai une passion toute particulière pour les ânes, les ours et les chats....ils ont un point commun. Merci pour établir la connaissance de ce compagnon fid`dle à l'humanité depuis si longtemps.
Ooh I loved this documentary. What a respect for donkeys. You can send them to pick up your kids. People who don’t take care of their donkey don’t know anything. So much negative stigma and ignorance is perpetuated. Thank you for the informative video. What a joy to watch.
We have 4 donkeys and 4 horses. When it comes to toughness the donkeys are the winners. They are also very expressive and greet you enthousiastically when you get to the field. Horses do the same but only make a little sound. When stray dogs enter the field and want to chase the donkeys their life is over in a heartbeat if they can not escape. In winter it has to be real bad weather before they hit the shelter. During storms the horses seek protection behind a wall but the donkeys enter the cave on the land and know exactly where to stand to ride out the storm. It took time to build up a bond with them but once it is there they are some of the most loyal pets you can imagine. One call and they race down to greet you. They love cuddles and smell you and nibble a bit as a sign of affection. Their weakness is their hoofs in wet climates, you need to check regularly as little stones tend to find their way in causing infections so look carefully how they walk as they are not very quick in showing signs of pain. A tiny limp, almost impossible to see can stil mean some serious hoof injury requiring treatment.
Thats a nice young llama also a donkey can see all 4 feet at the same time unlike other equines. I love my 6 donkeys, they are a family and very attached to eachother. Iv never had any of my donks have to go to the vet for an injury. My horses on the other hand! Thousands of dollars dumped into them for injuries!!! But i hope they deworm Penelope!!! That belly!!!! Screams worms!!!
One thing I don’t think was mentioned, even though donkeys are versatile, some can be very mischievous and also stubborn, it all depends upon the donkey itself.….🤣
I cannot thank you enough for having brought us this wonderful animal documentary, especially about donkeys. I've always believed they have always been so underrated!!! Thanks again for the valuable time and resources used in this delivery. Great narration and shots!!! ❤🐴❤
I got so depressed watching this. The fact the man can sell a child ,take it from its mother at such an early age, pisses me off. However, it's a great documentary and Im so glad it was made and people learned how wonderful they are. Thank you so very much for making this.
I grew up with a donkey. They can be watchdogs and companions, but if they don't want to do something, they won't! Sheep on the other hand are incredibly stupid!
I have always had a soft spot for donkeys feeling rather sorry for them when they have been worked to death and not properly treated or cared for. This documentary really showed the positive side of donkeys whereas when properly looked after, they can be a massive asset to hills people in general. I knew they were courageous because I have seen video of them giving hyenas a real good beating. I knew they were good protectors of herding animals such as sheep and goats and are often kept as protectors of the heard. I really enjoyed this episode from start to finish. The only sad part for me was when the mother donkeys bray was kind of sad and I felt for her as I felt the young donkey was too young to be separated from its mother, but then what do I know about such things. A very interesting documentary showing their intelligence, social bond and overwhelming talents.
You are right. And on behalf of all donkeys on this planet I vote to rename the Horsehead Nebula to Asshead Nebula. Donkeys are underrepresented in scientific nomenclature.
They are often kept together with sheep, goats, and horses as defenders because they will kill predators. Unlike their reputation, they are smart and brave. And they are also extremely affectionate if they've been treated well. They love to be loved! And they make excellent caring companions to blind horses, whom they will take wonderful care of, better than another horse will usually do. Goat's are often very good with blind hoses too.
one of our was being pestered by another and i approached and got kicked in the chest.. ouch bloody ouch, was winded for a week, :) only a young one too
Fascinating donkeymentary. I had no idea donkeys are so talented. Very Interesting and informative documentary.

Glad Joey is doing well now! Clearly he knows he is safe now.
I had never thought much about donkeys. After watching this, they seem noble and pure. Thank you 😊

I have always had a soft spot for donkeys feeling rather sorry for them when they have been worked to death and not properly treated or cared for. This documentary really showed the positive side of donkeys whereas when properly looked after, they can be a massive asset to hills people in general. I knew they were courageous because I have seen video of them giving hyenas a real good beating. I knew they were good protectors of herding animals such as sheep and goats and are often kept as protectors of the heard. I really enjoyed this episode from start to finish. The only sad part for me was when the mother donkeys bray was kind of sad and I felt for her as I felt the young donkey was too young to be separated from its mother, but then what do I know about such things. A very interesting documentary showing their intelligence, social bond and overwhelming talents.
Donkeys are a tough animal, in many respects, other animals have found out the hard way, don't mess with a donkey.
You are right. And on behalf of all donkeys on this planet I vote to rename the Horsehead Nebula to Asshead Nebula. Donkeys are underrepresented in scientific nomenclature.
They are often kept together with sheep, goats, and horses as defenders because they will kill predators. Unlike their reputation, they are smart and brave. And they are also extremely affectionate if they've been treated well. They love to be loved! And they make excellent caring companions to blind horses, whom they will take wonderful care of, better than another horse will usually do. Goat's are often very good with blind hoses too.
one of our was being pestered by another and i approached and got kicked in the chest.. ouch bloody ouch, was winded for a week, :) only a young one too
