Donkeys are hardy animals, domesticated by communities around the world, which often exploit these hard working creatures. The Donkey Sanctuary, established in the UK, works with many countries to help sensitise the owners of these beasts of burden.
Contrary to popular belief, donkeys are gentle and docile animals that can be very loving. In fact, spending time with donkeys is therapeutic; they're especially good with differently-abled children. Donkey Assisted Therapy is now in India!
