I am so grateful, and so would the donkeys be if they knew, that so many of you signed the petition against the donkey roping event to be held on September 29, 2012 in Eden, TX.
I'm posting the link again below in case others who read this post may want to sign the petition. Thank you so much if you can help.
At these events, cattle prods are used on the donkey to make it run and then be roped. Donkeys are not built like cattle, their necks will get severely injured, their bones will break, and many will die. This is an extremely cruel event put on to entertain people. Donkeys are highly intelligent animals, they are loving, loyal, and so sweet. Please help stop this event. You don't have to be a U.S. citizen to sign. Thank you so much for caring.

If you signed it last week, I hope you will enjoy a few funny donkey pictures that I took when I worked at the donkey rescue. The guy at the top was one of my favorites. His name is Apache, and he never met a camera he didn't like. Here are a few other clowns:
Thank you so much again, you guys are the best!
