Together we can put a stop to the horrible treatment of these innocent Donkeys in the beautiful village of Mijas Pueblo, Spain.
The Donkeys, used as taxis, are beaten and ill treated on a regular basis by the people who work with them. They are also left in terrible conditions such having their heads lashed to poles all day without being able to move even an inch. They are always muzzled. Standing in the heat wearing hot wool blankets and leather saddles. They are unable to get water when they are thirsty. They work all day, every day pulling wagons around town full of tourists.
Often they are infested with a tack that bites them producing painful sores and infections.
The government has promised for years to regulate the treatment of these animals, and punish those who mistreat them. But even today, people from this town still witness the cruel beatings of the innocent donkeys go unpunished.
Already in 2007, a donkey was dragged behind a cart in the main street and died in front of tourists there was a national outcry, which attracted over 40 international and national organizations. Unfortunately the donkey operators were let off the hook by a ludicrous agreement to inspect the donkeys every six months.
Please help us raise our voice for these sweet donkeys by signing this petition.
Thank you
