Donkey Basketball

Snohomish High School holds a teachers verses students donkey basketball game. The game is a fundraiser for a graduation party. The teams play basketball while riding the donkeys. A fun time is had by all including the donkeys, according to their owner Bruce Wick. Wick says the animals enjoy the game and get excited when boarding the horse trailer to go. PETA has a problem with it, of course, wow couldn't see that one coming.

the animals look well cared for. animals that are domesticated become attached to humans and enjoy interaction with us. if they really didn't like it they are capable of defending themselves. there was a story a while back about a donkey killing a mountain lion to defend his human family. he bit, shook, and stomped the big cat to death. donkeys are tough.

I remember donkey baseball back during the dawn of history. Nothing really new about all this except P.E.T.A. getting their rocks off defending defenseless animals.
