Donkey Care

We are striving to prevent donkeys suffering as the global demand for their meat, milk and skins rapidly grows.

We Engage the Communities

Engaging communities is one of the ideas we got to minimize this evil, and this has come out clearly as some had not realized the depleting population of donkey in their localities and high prices of donkeys in the market whereby a poor families cannot afford to buy when it is stolen.

All of us must come together to strengthen the resolve of the donkey communities to fight and resist donkey sales mistreatment and slaughter.

We empower our people economically and ban licensing of abattoirs, arrest and prosecute thief’s to minimize this threat of donkeys, on-profit must come in by mobilizing them and providing educational resources to enlighten communities on this dangers, unless and until we involve donkey communities and all stake holders come together will be fighting a losing battle, coming together will be one step in winning this battle.

In recent years, the demand for diverse products of donkey origin, including meat, milk and skins, has escalated rapidly and we are striving to prevent donkeys suffering in the process by working in partnership with key players in government, industry and the veterinary community to promote the highest international standards of donkey welfare.

The demand for donkey skins in particular, to produce Ejiao - a traditional Chinese medicine made from donkey-derived gelatin, has generated a significant trade across the globe and we believe current practices are unsustainable and causing mass-scale suffering.

The donkeys are frequently sourced from donkey-dependent communities, particularly in Kenya and other African countries, and the trade has impacted on their livelihoods and even economic stability. Our interests are to ensure that the welfare of donkeys is seen as paramount in all donkey farming and associated industries and our expertise can make a difference to the care and welfare of the donkeys involved.
