Happy World Donkey Day, Fellow Donk's!
Today is World Donkey Day.
From the Ground report:
On May 8th, we celebrate World Donkey Day, dedicated to raising awareness about the plight of these remarkable animals and recognizing their historical contributions to society.
The donkey, a member of the equidae family, was first domesticated approximately 6,000 years ago in North Africa, initially valued for its milk and meat.
World Donkey Day was established through the efforts of Razik Ark, a scientist specializing in desert animals, who sought to highlight the significance of donkeys in enhancing human life.
Throughout history, donkeys have served various roles crucial to human civilization. Today, they remain indispensable in agriculture and rural settings, as well as for transporting goods, although their utilization is declining in many regions.

No better political animal symbol on this or any other planet.
Hee-haw! (Maniacal Democratic Donkey Laugh) Hee-haw!!!!
Thank you for a most wonderful video. It brightened my day to see how happy and excited the Rubber Peg-Legged Pirate Chicken made our fellow Donkey. I will draw inspiration from it on how best to dispose of real life pirates of the GOP.
We spoiled our pet canine with toys -- she still plays with us, although at 14 going soon on 15, she's slowed down a bit.
Seeing how a toy makes a Donkey so happy reminded me how important toys are for human kids' growth into happy adults.
