Donkey populations are collapsing in many parts of the globe over demand for an ancient Chinese medicine, and a U.K.-based rescue organization is warning that is causing a crisis in the world’s most vulnerable communities that rely on the beasts of burden for survival.
Half the animal’s population could be wiped out in the next five years without immediate action, says a report by The Donkey Sanctuary. Localized extinctions are already happening.

CANADA SLAUGHTERS HORSES FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION
It may be hard for some to believe that tens of thousands of horses, including pets, are routinely slaughtered in Canada, for human consumption.
Some of the meat is consumed in Canada and much of it is shipped to the European Union and other markets, including Japan.
The barbaric slaughter of horses is currently not legal in the United States, BUT horses, including pets and ex-racehorses, from the United States are shipped to Canada and to Mexico to be slaughtered.
In addition Canada allows for the transportation of live horses to Japan, to be slaughtered for human consumption, and unfortunately the transportation of horses destined for slaughter within Canada, and by air, is far from humane.
