Speaking of burros, wild burros are allowed to roam the streets of Oatman, Arizona. Of course they may not be all that wild with all the loving attention they get.

Absolutely LOVE this! Very clever of the town. That should generate significant tourist publicity. If we were into traveling these days, that photo would definitely put that town on my TODO list.

“Wild” burros are fed by hand in South Dakota too. They love carrots.

By the way, Pony Soldiers were a real thing, and for good reason. Ponies need less water than horses.

Lived there for awhile and you are right. The “Tourist Burros” are rude and sometimes mean and demanding because they have no fear of humans. And it is a sad state of health for them. These in town are unhealthy and scruffy compared to the wild ones who don’t come into town because of the crap they are being fed by tourists. The wild Burros are toned, sleek, and shiny. Much healthier than the Tourist Burros from grazing what they should be grazing.
