Niger announced a ban on the export of donkeys this month after trade of the animals increased by three times in the last year, mainly to Asian countries.

What? Hey, at least all those "donkeys" wishing to depart the US on 11/9/2016 would have a place to go. I say let them go.

Smashed to death with a sledgehammer: Customers watch as Chinese vendors sell ‘fresh donkey meat’ by the side of the road after killing animals in front of them

Lines of donkeys were seen tethered to the roadside awaiting execution

Meat was instantly butchered and sold directly to passing motorists

Vendors ensure they get the best price possible by butchering to order

Donkey meat is a delicacy in China and a cut weighing around 1.5kg sells for the equivalent of £10

The Chinese intend to control world food supply. They are heavy buyers of US ag companies and farm land. Same in Africa.

China thinks of itself as a modern nation. This proves the opposite.

I had a thought they weren’t using the donkeys as pack animals and then I kept reading.

China. Traditional “medicine.” Depopulating the planet of its elephant, rhino, dolphin, dog, donkey and every other manner and kind of critter in the insatiable desire to treat conditions for which, if their “medicine” DID work, would have them living hundreds of years on average rather than having a life expectancy roughly that of the USA circa 1900 before flush toilets, hand-washing and Tetanus vaccines. Wait, what? What a bunch of primitive screw heads.

We cannot allow a Donkey gap!!

Followers of Vermin Supreme will immediately recognize this as some sort of currency ploy, along the line of Ponynomics.

It is said the Chinese will eat anything with four legs that isn’t a table, anything with wings that isn’t an airplane, and anything that swims that isn’t a submarine.

During times of famine, one eats to survive. But today’s China isn’t famine prone. Old habits die hard.

This is reassuring. I had thought they were using the donkeys to bring heavy weapons to the China-India border.

We have a good supply of jackasses in our country that we really don't need.

Isn't this close enough?

If you pull up the "free" on Craigslist there is likely a donkey. Otherwise you can buy them for under $100 all day long. I have often wondered what donkey tastes like. Especially after they tear up the fence again for some sight seeing. 😃
