End the Abuse of Donkeys in the USA
- Posted by Janice Holdaway Cavaletto
To: United States Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan.
This is a petition to send a strong message to those who choose to abuse Donkeys. This petition is focusing on Buckeye Donkey Ball http://www.donkeyball.com/ and all other companies involved in this insane abuse. Donkeys are being abused only for the satisfaction of filling the pockets of...

Donkey basketball fundraisers send kids the message that it's OK to abuse and humiliate those who are weaker than they are. Children who are exposed to animal abuse are taught the dangerous lesson that cruelty is acceptable. After an extensive study of the links between cruelty to animals and human abuse, experts Stephen R. Kellert and Alan R. Felthous concluded, "The evolution of a more gentle and benign relationship in human society might be enhanced by our promotion of a more positive and nurturing ethic between children and animals."
Schools from coast to coast have stopped hosting cruel donkey basketball fundraisers because they want to help nurture kind kids, not bullies. The U.S. National Parent-Teacher Association Congress states, "Children trained to extend justice, kindness, and mercy to animals become more just, kind, and considerate in their [interactions] with each other."-

Anyone with a heart and an milligram of empathy will read the body language of those donkeys and know they are afraid and struggling with the overweight riders and excessive noise and aggression. Just because it's an American High School tradition, it does not make it right...

People with wisdom and heart ensured other traditions such as badger-baiting, bear-baiting and cock-fighting were outlawed. And Catalonia has now banned bull-fighting...All these were once considered to be "innocent traditional fun". Donkey basketball is outmoded and harks back to a time when animals were considered to be objects to be used and abused by humans for amusement. Times have changed....wake up!
Shame on you Jose !!!
Aqui no Brasil lutamos contra os maus tratos de todos os animais, é o papel dos humanos.
I can't give you permission to use my friends info. I fully support this initiative. I have fostered rescue donkeys.
Vintage Chasse - you must be desperate if you are resorting to spamming... Please stop the cruelty to the donkeys.
Vintage Chasse-The word "trained" alone tells everyone who has a conscience what these donkeys experience. This crap is not a life for a donkey, and your note gives great insight in to the sad rationale used to try to justify brainless use of animals by bad humans. "Benched"? Please. Go to the library. Your perspective sounds naive and self serving. Open your eyes and mind.
burro mesmo é o homem perverso, com certeza não tem família.
This is terrible why doesn't someone call animal abuse on this people? Donkeys are very sweet but, they are stuburn byt you'll get farther with kindness then forceing the donkey. They have feelings to. It sounds that you people are the Jackasses!
They have been holding this games since I was a child.
So don't you think it's time to stop then! How would you like it if you were used in a Game and people watched you being Abused! Just because you seen this since you been a child doe'snt make this right! When we become adults we should grow and change the wrongs in life. And This is Wrong!!!!
Those Donkeys have got more Brains than the idiotic sub-humans who are trying hard to abuse and inflict them. Those are cowards and no brainers who are willing to abuse the voiceless & innocent animals to get fun out of hurting them. Young or old who ever sub-humans who thinks this is a sport and fun are just plain idiots. Such type of animal cruelty is a crime against the planet. No matter what ever the way they are being given the food & shelter. The bottom line is Cruelty becomes always...

The bottom line is Cruelty becomes always a part of training them while beating/screaming/at these innocent animals and asking them to do what ever the man wants them to do.
we should respect animals.
We are animals ourselves. Many of us animals can't respect each other let alone the truly innocent ones. :( oh how I wish that statement were untrue.
Stop the abuse of these beautiful animals... they belong in the free not in a school with loud and yelling people.. get real... grow-up and stop this abuse...
Every animal deserves love, care and RESPECT - and to live in an environment that is best suited to their specific needs - away from cruel, thoughtless, selfish, greedy humans. God bless ALL animals! xo xo xo xo xo xo.
it never ever ends does it :(
VERGONHA DE SERUMANA!!!!!
