I'm American and grew up reading great stories about the wild west. Donkeys were often part of those stories and they taught me how intelligent and loyal these critters are. How they can be the best companions to have when traveling alone as they can also be very protective. Disturbing to think how people abuse them, but terrific to know Wonkey Donkey and Dr. Scott are giving them a better life.
Samson is so lucky to have you adopt him! Thank you for doing that. The world needs more Wonky Donkey rescue centres! I have always hated seeing donkeys abused by overstuffing their backs with items to carry, then discarding them when the're too exhausted, or mistreating them simply because they're donkeys. It's great to see someone treating them with love and care that they so deserve. All animals deserve kindness! Dr Scott, I hope you make videos with updates on Samson. Thank you to all! Sending love from Canada!
Samson is so adorable and now has a wonderful life he deserves full of love, good food and attention 🫏❤. Welcome to the rescue vet family 🧡. Lovely thing for you to do Scott 👏🏻🥰. Jenny and all her team do such a great job 👏🏻👏🏻🫏🧡
My parents winter home(for snow recreation) was located across the street from a home that had 2 donkeys, Hehah and Dorris. They were the sweetest donkeys I have ever encountered. Their souls were so beautiful and they were especially bonded to the postman, their owner. As time went on, they also grew fond of my dad and his visits. When Dorris died(she had a tumor in her brain) Hehah was so devastated by the loss. As he started to come out of his sorrow, John(his owner) was diagnosed with stage 4 lung and stomach cancer. Hehah knew, he was totally in tune with what was going on. It was so depressing to see the heartbreak that Hehah suffered after John died. The purpose of my telling this memory was sparked by seeing Sampson skin and bones clips. Hehah looked like this before he died a few months after John, but he was not a case of abuse and neglect, but a case of deep sorrow and loss. I learned from him how intelligent and soulful donkeys are. Hehah’s responce to death was so human, so heartfelt and renching that he gave up on wanting to live. It didn’t matter how much the vet tried or anyone else tried and he just withered away to skin and bones and died. Seeing Sampson brought me to tears. I will do my very best to help. I pray that Sampson and all the other donkeys at Wonky Donkey have a wonderful and fulfilling life.
By extension, it is heart-warming for me to see others, including you and your colleagues, who put themselves out to save and love animals. Right now, I can't own an animal but I do sponsor and care for animals as a volunteer and whatever I can afford. My eyes were opened to donkeys in Petra January 2001. The Bedouins work with donkeys and depend on them. But humans didn't have enough food, I observed nor their animals. A few days on, in a 'trick' to rob me, two little boys (one not more than 3) tripped me and tried to rob me. They failed but I picked them up - Damascus - and sat them down. I gave them money for food and then I gave them money for school. I took them to the grocer and we negotiated prices with an interpreter. Then home to their house and then to the school where I paid for their education. I still help. Later, I received a letter from a relief organization asking for financial help. I checked out the organization and donated. That was 20 years ago. I still do so. Thank you for these precious videos. Maybe we can make mankind a little better toward rest of animal kingdom as we are not often kind to our own species, one another. I try to help that along too. I have some means. I might add that in Christian religion, donkeys played a big role in the birth of Jesus. How could Mary have traveled without a donkey 9 months pregnant and ready to give birth? The donkey as well as Joseph and the other animals and a few people were the heroes and heroines. May all be blessed this season and beyond. May all remember to let a human or other animal into your heart and home. I sit and feed homeless now for over 18 years. Often they are severely damaged people in the same way a donkey or other animal is abused. They need a hand. They are not scum. I started doing so after I hit the ground losing my job, my man, and endured fractured health. A few helped, most ran. I mustered the courage to help others and it empowered me. I have never stopped.
Thank you for sharing your story Helen, it's very inspiring. Despite your trials you continue to do good, doing the Lords work. And yes you are correct, Mary didn't get to Bethleham by chariot or horse, she was carried by the humble donkey. Bless your caring hands and willing heart.
@@bhanani5480 If you are on this site, you are the same! All are. We all care, I believe. No matter which religion or no religion, there are good people who care about one another. I still believe that.
Hello Helen 🤗🥰! I feel humbled by your words! Your story leading to a change of view and resulting from that, your decision to make a change and give help to others including animals is simply overwhelmingly wonderful! Thank you very much in the name of all of God’s creatures in desperate need, God bless and a very merry christmas and a happy new year ❤🎄👋🏻✌🏻🖖🏻!
I spent some time at the Irish Donkey Sanctuary as a Quality Time Volunteer. = grooming asses! The most relaxing occupation of all, as you can't hurry a donkey. So rewarding! ❤
Samson is so lucky to have been brought to the Wonkey Donkey where he is loved and cared for now. Dr. Scott thank you for adopting Samson. It's an amazing feeling to adopt an animal knowing that you are helping them everyday with your contribution. I have adopted two elephants 🐘 in S. Africa. It is an amazing place that had rescued several elephants from a certain death in Zimbabwe and is the only elephant 🐘 Orphanage in S Africa. It fills you up knowing you are helping to save a life. Thank you again for helping out with Samson 🫏. Your gift to him will go a long way. Much love from Florida ❤️🫏❤️
Happy Christmas,to you ,your sweet family,both children and fur bubs and all your lovely staff and besties❤. Every time I watch your channel, I feel is so proud to know you are an Aussie, with a loving ❤️ and full of kindness,. Best wishes for your holidays, from a Nanna in Western Australia 🇦🇺
Love your videos. Keep them coming. Thank you for supporting Sampson. It is Christmas time of christ's birth. Mary rode a donkey into Bethlehem. Again thank you for your love and care of all animals
Hi lovely Scott !im just like you love animals and can’t understand why you would want to hurt any thing even down to a spider.W have adopted 2 beautiful donkeys lv Ann ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
I am so grateful that Sampson was adopted, sponsored & now a member of the Rescue Vet Family💛💛 Congrats🎉 Thanks so much to Wonkey Donkey rescue for taking care of all these amazing Donkeys✴✴
Samson what a lovely soul, so happy you made him part of The Rescue Vet family and please keep us updated on him. Everytime you visit this place I get so warm and happy in my heart, what a truly special place 💞
Thank you Dr. Scott for introducing us to the Wonkey Donkey and Samson of course, and it’s appreciated that you are now a family member of Samson’s. Have to admit his story brought tears to my eyes, it’s a relief to know he doesn’t have to worry or starve anymore. Happy Christmas 🎄🫏💕👍
Hi Dr. Scott, Samson is sure a handsome Donkey. He is really blessed to be adopted into the Rescue Vet family. Hope to see many more videos about Samson and the other Donkey's at the Wonkey Donkey Visitor Centre.
The Wakefield fibromyalgia group sponsored a donkey called Fred. unfortunately he passed away this year.old age & health problems. Keep up the good work,love Charlotte Brooke
Hey Dr Scott I remember watching the previous mentioned episode. Young Jenny (coincidental name for the owner of a donkey farm😊) is amazing in what she has achieved, the centre looks immaculate, a credit to all of her volunteers. I wish you and them a very merry Christmas from Western Australia 💖🦘🦘🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅 keep up the awesome work everyone!! You should be so proud..and how lucky are those gorgeous donkeys to have finally found their forever homes..
Donkeys are such gorgeous, kind animals and Samson is very handsome 🫏🧡. So lovely that you’ve adopted him and to hear his story how his life is now so happy and full of love just as he deserves 🥰. Jenny and her family have done an amazing job setting up the centre after such traumatic events in their lives and it’s very obvious how much they and all the wonderful team of volunteers care about all their donkeys 👏🏻👏🏻🫏❤️
Yes, the abuse of Donkey's is another unfathomable experience. Just like some people who are of a gentle nature, perpetrators can seek them out to abuse them. So happy for Samson, who was saved from abuse. Wishing him a long and lovely life.
Its wonderful that Samson now has a loving forever home at Wonkey Donkey sanctuary. I dont understand how people can hurt any animal 😢 i love adopting animals when i can. I wish i could adopt all animals but sadly i cant. All animals deserve love ❤❤
Here in South Africa donkeys are also work animals and there is a lot of abuse while people are trying to make a living. We have a wonderful rescue called The Karoo Donkey Sanctuary who do the most incredible work with rehabilitation of these wonderful creatures.
Hello! I am super excited about all of this, hello and hugs from Scotland! Love all the work your doing, and the work of others that you are showcasing. Truly inspirational :)
Thank you for sharing Samson's story. Thank you, Rescue Vet, for adopting and sponsoring him. ❤
He's a fine big boy 😊
It's very appropriate to honour donkeys during the Christmas season. So happy for Samson!❤
That's Awesome Dr. Scott! Samson is a lucky donkey ❤

Hehah also suffered from being alone. A donkey without a friend is a lonely donkey. They each need a bonded friend.
I'm so happy Samson and the other donkeys were rescued and now have a lovely forever home at Wonkey Donkey.🥰

I adore Donkeys. If Jesus could ride into Jerusalem as a King on a Donkey how could anyone harm one?
hi
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The sponsor idea is wonderful. I think they should make the letters more personal. Instead of, 'Dear Friend', why not, 'Dear Scott'?
I don't care for this program I rather see you doing your practice. I watched you ever time I could.
Samson is actually a bit small for a mammoth donkey...
❤
