Of course, I love them all ๐บ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐จ๐ท๐ค, donkeys are one of my favorite animals, my grandmother in Greece had a donkey, when I was a kid I was so happy when summer arrived because we were going to my grandmother's house who lived in the country and she had chickens, goats, sheep, dogs, cats and the donkey, she was so beautiful ๐ค๐ค, my grandmother always took us for a ride on the donkey and I loved combing her hair and petting her snout, donkey snout is super soft ๐. They are such noble animals ๐ค๐ฅฐ.
I'm glad you liked it ๐ฎ.
Aww, these are sweet memories :) Donkeys are cool animals. Just too bad they are often abused in the tourism industry :( In many countries (including Greece), donkeys are used to carry tourists who are often too heavy for them :( Itยดs just heartbreaking to see the poor animals carrying fat lazy inconsiderate humans on their back. I know that a healthy donkey can carry an adult person but not someone who weighs 100 kg or even more... There should totally be weight limits on the rides.
Soooo sweet memories ๐ฅฐ
Yes, that's absolutely true, in many Greek islands, the most famous and also others that cars don't exist because they are really small islands, they use donkeys for tourism ๐๐, both to carry people on them or to pull carts, the poor donkeys are working all day under the hot Mediterranean summer sun ๐ฅต๐, that's not fair, I haven't been in a Greek island but I wouldn't pay for a donkey ride. There are some countries here in south America like Argentina where they use horses to pull tourist carts and they abuse of those poor horses ๐ ๐ก๐ฅ but in some Argentine cities they are already prohibiting this type of rides thanks to animal rights movements.
Yes, donkeys can carry a lot of weight but not inconsiderate fat people who even laugh when they get on the poor donkey and see that it can barely walk with so much fat on top ๐๐ก๐คฌ.
Honestly, I think the donkeys would be happy if they could carry people like you because you are like a feather :D But like I said, many people are stupid and inconsiderate and they donยดt care if they hurt the animals by putting too much weight on them :( It can be the same with horses. It all depends on how much weight they carry and in what conditions the animals are kept. In Krakow, for example, where we lived for some time, there are horse carriages too but there are two big and strong horses for each carriage and the carriage usually carries just a few people (like 3 or 4) so it feels like the horses are comfortable with that. But I know that in some other cities and countries, there is just one horse for the carriage and itยดs loaded with many people. Thatยดs animal abuse for sure :( I would just love to kick those lazy fat asses down from the carriage!
๐คญ๐คญ๐คญ well, that's true, I'm like a feather hehehe ๐ธ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ.
You know, donkeys can carry a lot of weight but most of the donkeys that people have to carry load they work for a short time and not everyday but the poor tourism worker donkeys have to carry stupid and fat people 7 days a week until the sun goes down, and I suppose you must already know that in summer, in Greece the sun sets around 9 o'clock pm so that means that they probably have to work more than 10 hours ๐๐๐ก๐คฌ, that's animal abuse and here in Venezuela we call that animal abuse.
I have seen those huge and strong horses that people use on farms and fields to transport crops, merchandise and even as transportaciรณn but most of those horses are breeds specialized in heavy lifting like the Percheron, amazing and beautiful animals by the way ๐ป, I wish I have one ๐๐, they look like powerful superheroes ๐ช๐ป hehehe.
But yes, in most of the countries that have tourist carts, like Argentina, they use normal horses that they have neither the size nor the strength to work so many hours and carry so much weight, especially since most of those carts only use one horse ๐๐.
Yeah, me too, get off that carriage ๐คฌ.
You are right, there is still so much animal abuse happening in the world :( And we only mentioned donkeys and horses here, while in fact there are many other animals that have to suffer because some stupid tourists on vacation want to have "fun". Very sad. Like I said, the world just needs more Gatubelas who would always be there to protect our animal friends ;)
๐ฅ๐ฃ๐ yes, very sad, and it doesn't only happen with tourism worker animals, there is a lot of abuse and killing, animals doesn't deserve that ๐ญ. Thousands of animals killed for their skin and fangs, thousands used for entertainment in swimming pools, circuses, movies and TV, it's better not to continue because everything related to animals affects me very deeply ๐๐.
Thanks so much, I appreciate your lovely and so kind words ๐, I would wish to be able to help them all ๐ฅบ.
Muchas gracias mi querido amigo ๐บ๐ค
You are right, there is still so much animal abuse in the world and just talking and thinking about it makes super sad and angry :( Better not to continue indeed. Have a nice weekend my friend!
