The organization says that the spate of donkey abandonments may be being spurred by their low market value.

I do live in Texas and it's bad. While I can't adopt a Donkey, it wouldn't be allowed in my city to have one in backyard and my girl's would think I was crazy. I can how ever make a donation.
