      @Houdini Magpie That's because they will carry all the heavy burden humans load them up with without a complaint unlike any other animals. Their altruism is interpreted as idiocy by the same humans.

    My dad received a donkey from our uncle that was pregnant. Just a few hours after the baby was born he was playing catch with us kids and coming up showing affection and asking for pets. We named him cookie because he was just so sweet. Neither him nor his mom ever tried biting anyone either which I know donkeys sometimes innocently do. They were super gentle and seemed to really like people.

    Donkeys are smarter than horses and Mules. They also need companionship, another donkey would be the best. That is what he is showing following you around and getting under you. It is a dominance thing. They are also great watch dogs. There have been cases where they have killed the family dog feeling the dog, mistakenly was dangerous they will also kill snakes and any others they think are predators. My neighbor has two Donkeys to protect his Chickens. When they see me they come to my fence knowing I usually have an apple for them. Nice animals!

      That is not true. It took me 10 years but now I have a little farm house. 3 ducks and 2 miniature donkeys. Its tough to live without money but the living experience is worth it. You dont have to be rich but you sure have to put a lot of eford into it. In every country there are people who already own farms but dont have any children. Often they will give you their farm if you help them. Its better to give it to a caring person then to leave it to your state or the church. Think about it.

    Hey .. A cowboy buys a horse from the town pastor. The pastor explains, “To make the horse go, you gotta yell, ‘Thank God!’ And to make it stop, yell, ‘Hallelujah.’”
    The cowboy rides away. He rides all day and starts to nod off in the saddle when he notices he is about to ride straight over a cliff. Searching his memory, he yells to the horse, “Hallelujah! Hallelujah!” The horse grinds to a stop just at the edge of the cliff. The cowboy wipes the sweat off his forehead.
    “Phew!” the cowboy sighs. “Thank God!”

    I had a donkey as a boy, and dearly loved him. Was able to ride him to school occasionally, to the delight of my friends. They’re wonderful animals, badly treated in ugh of the world. Especially by the Chinese TCM practitioners who use an extract from the skin of donkeys and has led to a big decline in African and other areas donkeys.
