Five More Donkeys Need To Be Saved

Mum is very upset - she says if I look at the http://www.equinesection.com/ website it will break my little Vodka heart as there are five donkeys there, going to the great salami factory and some of them are super urgent and may be dead donkeys before long.

I had almost forgotten about this, I have been concentrating on myself, eating lots of summer grass, getting fatter, winding up Ferguson by flirting with him (he needs a step ladder to reach Vodka bits so I am the ultimate tease...) and making Aimee jealous.

It quite takes up all my time, just enjoying being a donkey who was lucky enough to get the special banner that saved me. Mum says with the credit crunch (what is this - a chocolate bar or meusli bar....sounds interesting) it is going to be harder and harder to get the money to buy the special spangled banners that save sweet and kind donkeys like these.

She is using up all her limited brain cells trying to find ways to help them, but she may run out of time. It's very sad, they are all boys, all young, but the fact that they are boys with bits make them the hardest to buy the special banners for, as they need operations when they get to the UK and safety so that they can't annoy innocent Vodka donkeys by trying to lead them astray and make baby donkeys (my mum told me about this sort of thing).

It makes me sad that I am a happy, contented donkey, with all my life ahead of me, full of fun (despite the recent rain on my parade and having to go back into rugs and galloshes), enjoying my first summer of freedom and there are my friends, doomed, destined for the bad lorry to take them to their deaths. Life isn't fair, death is even more unfair.

What can I do? Is there anyone out there?

Is there anyone out there? Finding homes isn't the problem, it's finding the dosh to buy them and bring them to safety.

Maybe if I gave up my dinner (I get special nice donkey food in my manger every night) it would help. Mum says no, I can still have my dinner, as it isn't that much but I will need to think big picture...Not sure what this means but I will try.
