(Full title: Donkey running on Highway 101 shot and killed by Mendocino County Animal Control officers)
An aggressive 40-year-old donkey loose on Highway 101 in Hopland was shot and killed by Mendocino County Animal Control officers Wednesday at the request of the animal’s owner.
The 500-pound donkey was reported running on the highway around 3:30 p.m. prompting a response from the CHP, Caltrans, the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office and animal control, authorities said.
The donkey posed a threat to drivers coming around a blind corner on Highway 101, the Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. A driver was injured after striking a horse March 26 near the location of the loose donkey.
Officers chased the donkey off the highway and up a small hill, but the animal attempted to get back on the roadway, the Sheriff’s Office said. The donkey was known to be very aggressive and had injured and killed other animals on the farm it lived on about a mile away.
Animal control officers did not have the drugs needed to tranquilize a large animal, the Sheriff’s Office said. Its owner, who had fallen and suffered minor injuries while trying to keep the donkey off the highway, asked animal control officers to put down the animal.
Officers shot and wounded the animal, which moved up the hill away from the highway, the Sheriff’s Office said. The donkey was removed by the owner on a small flatbed trailer after it was finally put down.
40-year-old donkey????????.......................
This Donkey was once a party mascot owned by Bill Clinton the sex addict. You can imagine what Bill did to this donkey to have it behave so badly, it had to be shot.
I read that yesterday. Just went back to read the comments again. Seems to have devolved into a bunch of psychotic debating whether ketemin is good or bad for their psychosis. Typical LoCo stuff.
Well duh, you're not a cop!
Ah, yes, that would be Animal Farm. Poor old Benjamin getting seared by Napoleon again...
My friends donkey killed their goat. He opened the goat’s stall, let it out in the pasture then killed it and threw it in a ditch.
I did a search and it is hard to find any Donkey recipes. They say the meat is tough and smells.
Donkeys live to be 25-35 years old so he was a real old one.
Are Donkey Lives Matter protesting?
Try again? 404 Error?
Mules, too...
I respectfully say I can not understand what you wrote. Is it some sort of code that dumbasses like me can’t understand?
No I live by Ferndale, about the only sane area in Humboldt County. This county is fraught with leftists but there is a pocket of sanity around here. Of course Arcata just north of me made national news because they want to tear down McKinley’s statue for no apparent reason. Well, they have reasons but it’s an alternative planet.
Hilarious and sort of sad comments isn’t it? Ahh the Special K branch...yas, yas!
Have you ever been chased by a wacked out donkey weighing more than two grown men, with murder in its eyes? Try not to. Cujo on steroids. That animal should have been put down ten minutes after the first time it killed.

Donkeys (not Democrats) are smart, and they can kill or severely injure another animal or human.
Sad way for the animal to go, and probably unnecessary, but expedient
...
I would say the owner knew better than you.
Farmer friend has donkeys that protect his calves from coyotes. Had video of one chasing a coyote down and killing it.
Had to kill one that was killing his dogs. Grabbed them by the neck and broke them.
One of his asses occasionally won’t let the cows nurse their calves. They attach to a calf and follow it everywhere.

If you’re old enough to remember the late great Charlie Weaver (he of bar toy & Hollywood Squares fame), he had a recipe for an ethnic dish called `Donkey Fazool’.
He would always start “First, take one large donkey...” before Peter Marshall interrupted.
