Donkey Welfare and Advocacy

A peek over the Donkeys’ Rainbow… 🌈 Donkey Heaven

🐴☘️Dreaming of Fresh Fields☘️🐴

A heartfelt poem from the perspective of possibly, all donkeys in need, by English poet, Pam Ayres. I get watery eyes reading it.

I would like to think there is a place for me, with clean water to drink, and a shady tree. Where someone cared if I had enough to eat, and brushed my coat, and trimmed my feet.

I would like to be with other donkeys too, with boys and girls to hug me, and love me true. I would like to be with people who are kind, where when I die, someone will notice, Someone will mind.

Fresh Fields ‘Donkey Village’ existed and was given patronage by many talented stars of the screen and stage. Sadly it finally closed in 2017 due to the advancing years of the couple who operated it.

All 100 + rescued and retired donkeys were successfully rehomed to the Flicka Foundation in Cornwall for their dotage.

Some of the Basic Human (in simple terms) rights demand:

1. We Are All Born Free & Equal. We are all born free. We all have our own thoughts and ideas. We should all be treated in the same way.

2. Don’t Discriminate. These rights belong to everybody, whatever our differences.

3. The Right to Life. We all have the right to life, and to live in freedom and safety.

4. No Slavery. Nobody has any right to make us a slave. We cannot make anyone our slave.

5. No Torture. Nobody has any right to hurt us or to torture us.

6. You Have Rights No Matter Where You Go. I am a person just like you!

7. Food and Shelter for All. We all have the right to a good life. Mothers and children, people who are old, unemployed or disabled, and all people have the right to be cared for.

Why should domesticated animals who we brought into our lives deserve less?

Woodland Burial - Pam Ayres

Don’t lay me in some gloomy churchyard shaded by a wall Where the dust of ancient bones has spread a dryness over all, Lay me in some leafy loam where, sheltered from the cold Little seeds investigate and tender leaves unfold. There kindly and affectionately, plant a native tree To grow resplendent before God and hold some part of me. The roots will not disturb me as they wend their peaceful way To build the fine and bountiful, from closure and decay. To seek their small requirements so that when their work is done I’ll be tall and standing strongly in the beauty of the sun.

#100DaysOfWriting #WomensHistoryMonth

Pam Ayres It was Christmas Eve on a Friday The shops was full of cheer, With tinsel in the windows, And presents twice as dear. A thousand Father Christmases, Sat in their little huts, And folk was buying crackers And folk was buying nuts. All up and down the country, Before the light was snuffed, Turkeys they get murdered, And cockerels they got stuffed, Christmas cakes got marzipanned, And…
