It is important that #donkeyslaughter is completely halted, as the threat to #livelihoods is real & communities affected are suffering, by falling further into abject #poverty

We are calling on the government to enforce the #DonkeySlaughterBan in order to safeguard the livelihoods of the donkey owners in Turkana County.

This year, Brooke took on a few extra helping hands... (oops we mean paws!) and what better day to share them with you than #WorldAnimalDay!

[Brooke 🐴🧡 @TheBrooke]

.@FAO links #sustainablelivestock systems to all 17 #SDGs and #animalwelfare is considered a core component of sustainable production. We’ve got some great examples of these interactions at the Animal Welfare Action Network - https://t.co/SbsKkt0eph

#SDG3: #GOODHEALTH & #WELLBEING

Working #animals generate income that helps families pay for medical bills. In remote areas and during #disasters and emergencies, the animals provide the fastest and most reliable #transport to a #health clinic...

[@CEO_Brooke EA @CeoBrooke]

Safeguarding our women and elderly is critical and must be prioritised. Women bear the most suffering when they lose their donkeys

#donkeysbetteralive

[KTN News @KTNNewsKE]

Florence Ndeti: Our statistics show that most people who lost their donkeys were either single mothers or widows.

#KTNNewsSpecial

[KTN News @KTNNewsKE]

Dr Jebii Kilimo: It has been very difficult to breed donkeys because they are always working.

#KTNNewsSpecial

[KTN News @KTNNewsKE]

Dr Raphael Kinoti: Compared to cows and horses, it is less likely for donkeys to mate because they are overworked and get very exhausted.

Through poetry, dance and drawing, we're teaching #children in Kenya how to look after their animals. See it for yourself! https://t.co/QjfSxMTDMr

[@CEO_Brooke EA @CeoBrooke]

With these numbers, it is evident that the #abbattiors lack the technical & technological capacity to enable this trade be viable. Donkey Skin trade has proofed to not be #sustainable at all for anyone.

[Samantha Opere 🐾 @SamOpere]

According to a study by Uni of Reading we'd need 19M donkeys annually to produce 4.8M skins to meet China's demand. According to the slaughterhouse they started with 30 donkeys and now they have 150. They have capacity to slaughter more than 300 donkeys per day #SaveKenyanDonkeys
