Fresh Donkey Meat

As the effects of climate change impact ecosystems and communities, the protection of working animals around the globe needs to be included in climate change discussions.

We believe that working animals, including donkeys, are both impacted by climate change and can play a part in finding solutions to the challenges it creates.

Donkeys and climate change

Working donkeys and mules are connected to different aspects of climate change:

They can help communities find sustainable ways to adapt to climate change
They can play a crucial role in recovering from climate change events, especially in getting resources to remote and hard to reach areas
They are affected by climate change through extreme weather events and transformations to their environment.
Helping animals means helping people
In many low and middle-income countries, people are highly dependent on working animals, which can be their biggest and most precious asset. They enable their owners to participate in work, boosting their ability to earn money. They also promote gender equality, access to essential services, and opportunities to take part in money-saving schemes.

As working animals, well cared for donkeys and mules can change lives. They help to provide access to investment and education, making communities stronger. They also make it easier to access food and water and help to build efficient, productive and environmentally friendly infrastructure.

Where entire communities rely on working animals to meet their basic living needs, healthy and well-protected animals play a vital role in quickly and effectively facing the consequences of natural disasters.

Environmental challenges like climate change can also impact human and animal health, often creating more favourable conditions for infectious diseases that can spread between animals and humans. Healthy, well cared for animals can help reduce this potential.

To better prepare for the effects of climate change and, consequently, improve people's lives, it is essential to improve the lives of working animals.

Not restaurants ... street vendors and small shops. It is unreal. People make jokes about how stray dogs don't have a chance of survival in China, but everything in China is rightfully paranoid, including the insects, the worms, the vermin, the lizards, any living thing in water, ... everything.

It's worse. There is nothing worse because they eat all the worst in China. They eat it. They eat it all.

After the death-beating, the donkey meat is probably more like a soup.

OK, so we have a brand new "assinine" religion. Wonderful.

Somebody is going to have to get GasGuzzler and explanation here.

I would classify a fartin' feedlot cow in the same category as your average methane emittin' mule. Is my premise too promiscuous?

Now correct me if I'm wrong here, but I'm pretty sure the climate change religion has called for an end to all methane emissions, and that has prompted the experimentation with bringing fake meat, almost meat, cheat meat, whateverthehellucallit meat, to market. Sacrificing beef in exchange for zero methane is some thing we need to do, as if it will somehow not only make an undefined and unmeasured difference, but also gain us forgiveness for our methane sins.

But wait!...The above outfit called "donkey sanctuary" or some shit like that, they have just glorified the hell out of these "working animals".

Someone needs to tell me why one methane emitter that feeds BILLIONS needs to be abolished, but the ass is a heavenly creature that must remain in service.

Is there a methane moratorium for the mule? Has the famous BM enrolled them in some methane forgiveness program? Is BM working on a magik mule bacteria?
Seriously, how huge is the methane footprint of an ass? (although Swan does seem rather insignificant)

Someone who knows, please send out a mule methane memorandum memo.

I'll check with Sven. He might have the ass facts.
