Abused Donkey found in town

Donkeys are used everyday by most people here in Kenya to haul water pull carts etc. Some people take very good care of there donkeys and some take very bad care of there donkeys. Last night Jerry called and said he saw a injured one in town with a large wound and old wounds and was lame. These wounds were done by a human! He is to bring it to our house this morning to keep it as it heals and is treated if he can find it. Jerry if he can will find the owner and have them but in jail but finding the owner will be hard. The jail time and penalty is not near enough to make people to stop the abuse. THe law needs to be changed and will be hard to do. But I am going to try in time! Jerry is going at it now to try to educate people on proper care and that the animal feels pain like we do. Dollie and I and my dog Valentine are to go to a market that is known for mistreating there donkeys and use Valentine as a drawing card to gather a crowd. They have never seen a dog like here (Scottish Terrier) and then I will do commands on her teaching you don't have to beat your animal to get them to obey!!!! THen Jerry will teach on how to care for you donkey etc.

The abuse is so bad that some people cut holes in there donkeys and stick a sharp stick in them all day to get them to move faster. You can't imagine what all goes on over here with these donkeys! They over load them and beat and beat them to get them to pull what they aren't capable to pull. They don't give them time to feed they work them all day and into the night.The list goes on and on,

Jerry's office doesn't have the supplies to treat it so Dollie and I will use what we have here and give money to help buy what is needed. Medicine's aren't much here in Kenya but we don't have the budget to take care of all the animals here in Kenya. I will send out pictures of it today if I can so you can see the abuse.

Donkeys are very gentle animals and it is sad that people use them so badly. If you want to help send any funds to KMO/ donkey fund/ 200 Johnson Rd. Suwanee GA . 30024. This is tax deductible! Thanks for any help you can give. We are going to try and get some grant money to cover expenses but for now if you could help it would be a great help for the donkey. It takes along time to get grant money.

Thank you more for just reading this.
