Even in Europe they don't fare very well in Spain they are still used for tourists to ride up steep hot streets .
Yes, I know what you mean about the working donkeys abroad, Muddy. The Brick Kilns of India are evil places for them. This is what the Donkey Sanctuary has to say.

I have adopted a Sidmouth donkey, well actually she'a a mule. We go regularly to the sanctuary & it's a lovely place to visit.
They are doing their best to get treatment for the donkey's abroad & to educate their owners.

You're a kind gal, Summer.
I bet your little grandson will remember that, and he will know to be kind to them too.

The abusive owners of the 29 donkeys were found guilty of a string of animal cruelty charges, and banned for keeping animals for three years
17 NOV 2018
IMO, such "owners" should be thrown into an oubliette for a week or two .....
I remember reading about that at the time, Omah.
I always think the people who inflict onging cruelty like that, will never change. A fine, or even a prison sentence cannot change their basic personality, nor teach them empathy for another living creature.
