International Donkey Day came about through the internationally known (27 countries) Donkey Sanctuary, founded in 1969 by Dr. Elizabeth Svendsen in the United Kingdom. The organization's mission is to provide a permanent home for rescue donkeys and mules experiencing ill health, maltreatment, abuse, and poor living conditions. They also offer support for donkey and mule owners with services and information.
International Donkey Day focuses on the need to care for these sturdy and essential work animals, educate the public, further research, and encourage people to sponsor or adopt donkeys and mules in the nation of their choice.
Donkey Sanctuary recommends observing this day by:
a) Become a donkey ambassador! Learn about these amazing animals and share them with family and friends.
b) Be a responsible owner: donkeys live about 30 years and form strong attachments. Donkey parents are long-term parents.
c) Pay attention if you ride or see work donkeys. Are they well cared for, happy and safe?
d) Spend quality time with donkeys today!
e) Become a sponsor, adopt, donate, and help support donkeys.
Happy International Donkey Day!
