World Donkey Day

May 8 is World Donkey Day. It was founded in 2018 to bring awareness to the plight of these brave and lovable animal helpers, including their treatment. If we leave aside the critically endangered African donkey (Equus africanus ssp) and the Asian semi-donkey (Equus hemionus ssp), which is endangered to varying degrees, we wish all the best to all the other donkeys affected by the celebrated event :-).
