I found an article written by some lady with some sort of bullshit degree in something blah blah, point being this chick is trying to ass block us thieves. It’s a boring read but give good pointers on what donkey owners are trying todo to keep us from getting dat ass! Read up donkey stealers and learn!
Mini donkeys, what!!!!
Yup there are mini donkeys available, and I want one. Could you imagine it walking a donkey around instead of a dog, and you could do it too. From what I’ve read on the internet they grow to about 33″ at the shoulders that means you could fit one in the passenger seat of a VW bug. And to top it off they are so damned cute, I’m going to go out and steal me one soon….
I bet a donkey could have kicked Hitlers ass!!
The following are some random pictures I found of donkeys and donkey related business, some of them are quite funny. The one with the person wearing the donkey costume im still a little confused about and have been researching to figure just what in the hell is going on.
Jackasses and mules which is you?
First off yes I know how the title is worded and I meant to write it that way, just wanted to get that out there.
Many people question as to what the difference between a donkey and mule is. The differences are mainly physical, and can easily be seen from those who know what to look for.
When concerning species, the donkey itself is a species. The mule, however, is a direct result from a male donkey (jack) and female horse (mare) mating. Interestingly enough, mules can not reproduce, since they are in fact sterile. Donkeys, on the other hand, can reproduce at will.
As far as physical differences go, mules are usually slighter larger than donkeys. This makes sense, because mules are a result of a horse and donkey mating, and the mule inherits genes from both animals, including the horse’s height. Also, the donkey has a distinct bray, while the mule will have a combination between a whinny and a donkey bray.
As far as usage goes, mules can be used in any application that horses can. From sports, harnesses, cutting, or roping, the mule can do many things the donkey can not. Since the mule is a hybrid, it gets traits from the donkey and can carry more weight than a horse, and has much more stamina. Another interesting feature that mules have is their ability to jump- up to a few feet from standing still in place, much more than a horse could do.
Even though mules have much more uses than donkeys, the downfall is that they can not reproduce as a result from being sterile. The American Donkey and Mule Society claims donkeys outnumber mules about 10 to 1.
Even with all of these differences, one can easily mistake a mule and a donkey. With this guided knowledge, you should be able to now tell a donkey apart from a mule, which can prove very useful in many situations.
More than you probably wanted to know about donkeys.
Donkeys, zebras and mules, all differ somewhat from horses in conformation. The most noticeable difference is of course the ears. Donkeys’ ears are MUCH longer in proportion to their size than a horse’s. The necks are characteristically straighter in the longears, and most donkeys and all zebras lack a true wither. The croup and rump are also a different shape in the donkey and its hybrids, lacking the double-curve muscled haunch. The back is straighter due to the lack of withers. Dipped loins or severely swayed backs are a conformation fault, unless in old animals or brood jennies who have produced many foals, and not due to genetic factors.
The mane and tail in the donkey are coarse. The mane is stiff and upright, rarely laying over and the tail is more like a cow’s, covered with short body hair for most of the length, and ending in a tasseled switch. Donkeys do not have a true forelock, although sometimes the mane grows long enough to comb down between the ears toward the eyes. Because the mane is stiff and sometimes flyaway, many donkeys, especially show stock, wear their manes clipped short or shaved close to the neck.
Hoof shape varies as well, donkey hooves are smaller and rounder, with more upright pasterns. The legs should have good bone, but many donkeys of common breeding may appear to have long thin legs with tiny feet. Larger Asses such as the Andalusian types may appear opposite, with huge, heavy shaggy legs and large round feet. Good legs and feet are essential for breeding Mules, as a good foot is much preferable to a large body on tiny stick legs and feet.
The vocal qualities are the frequently remembered differences in the long-ears. The donkey’s voice is a raspy, brassy Bray, the characteristic Aw-EE, Aw-EE sound. Jacks especially seem to enjoy braying, and will “sound off” at any opportunity.
Although many donkeys are the familiar gray-dun color, there are many other coat shades. Most donkeys, regardless of coat color, will have dorsal stripes and shoulder crosses, dark ear marks, as well as the “light points” – white muzzle and eye rings, and white belly and inner leg. Leg barring (“garters” or “zebra stripes”) may be present as well. Small dark spots right at the throatlatch, called “collar buttons” are a good identifying marking and occur occasionally. These typical donkey markings may be passed on in part or whole to Mule or Hinny offspring.
Colors in the donkey range from the gray shades of gray-dun to brown, a rare bay (though not as red-toned as in horses) , black, light-faced roan (both red and gray), variants of sorrel (Registry term – RED), the blue-eyed Ivory (also called cream or white-phase), Frosted/spotted White, and a unique Spotted pattern. True horse pinto, horse aging gray, horse appaloosa, palomino and buckskin do not occur in the donkey.
The more unusual colors are the Dappled Roan, where the face and legs are light and the body is marked with “reverse” dapples (dark spots on a light background, as opposed to the horse dapple where the dapples themselves are light on dark), frosted gray (with light faces and legs and some white hairs in the coat) the pink-skinned, blue-eyed Ivory white, and the frosted spotted white. The frosted spotted is an apparent combination of a graying or roan with the spotted pattern, and can throw either more FSW, spotted, or frosty roan colts. The animals are best defined as a spotted animal where the skin is spotted but the color does not necessarily show through on the coat (it has roaned or “grayed”; out) . Frosted spotted white (FSW) can be identified from Ivory white by checking the skin around the eyes and muzzle. Ivory (creams) will have blue eyes and true pink skin, while FSW will have dark eyes, dark “eyeliner” and dark spotting on the skin.
Another unusual variant of the spotting line is the “tyger spot” pattern. These donkeys vary from the typical large spots over the ears, eyes, and topline. The body will be covered with small round spots resembling the appaloosa type.
Donkeys come in a variety of sizes from the Miniature Mediterranean (under 36 inches) to the elegant Mammoth Jackstock (14 hands and up ). The rare French Poitou donkey, characterized by it’s huge head and ears, and very thick, shaggy, curled black coat, can stand 14 to 15 hand high. (There are estimated to be about 400 purebred Poitous left in the world today.)
The types of donkeys are labeled by their sizes; 36″ and under, Miniature Mediterranean, 36.01-48″, Standard, 48.01″ to 54″ (jennets) or 56″; (jacks), Large Standard, and 54/56″ and over, Mammoth Stock. There are no real populations of BREEDS of donkeys left, such as the Catalonian, Majorcan, or Andalusian. Modern donkeys can strongly resemble these ancestral breeds in TYPE, but are not classified as those breeds unless they have traceable pure-bred pedigrees to those lines.
Donkeys can be used just like horses under saddle and in harness, although donkey are more laid back and self-preserving in nature. They prefer to do what is good for the donkey, which is not always what the human thinks is best (especially when it comes to getting their feet wet…). They are very friendly, and their nature makes them excellent for children. Donkeys can perform all the gaits horses or mules do (yes, some are even “gaited”, exhibiting a single-foot gait), but galloping is usually not on the program unless dinner is being served.
Donkeys can also make wonderful guard animals – the right donkey gelding or jennet will take care of an entire herd of cattle, sheep or goats – the natural aversion to predators will inspire the donkey to severely discourage any canine attacks on the herd. Dogs and donkeys usually don’t mix, although they can be trained to leave the house or farm dog alone!
Why are donkeys always making it to the bedroom?
This is one thing I’ve never understood, is that donkeys are always making it into our sex lives usually just through names for things to do while having sex but in some extreme instances they actually make it to the bedroom.
The most common phrase is “donkey punch” in which the guy punches the woman in the back of the head during sex to tense up which ever “passage” is being used. Every article I could find on the subject said it medically doesn’t make sence and the practice is often refered to as a rabbit punch because I guess that’s how they kill bunnies?
Then there’s the ever famous donkey show which is pretty self-explanatory. I’ve never understood why any women would want to have sex with a donkey I mean I know they are beautiful creatures but come on!! It was made famous in mexico and im not sure how often its is practiced but as far as im concerned once it too many times.
Basically people what im getting at is quit using donkeys in sex, both in the actual act of and in reference, because either way it’s just gross.
Wicked wheels of thieving!!
This is what Im thinking about adding to the stable to Donkey thieving what do ya guys think. It has a little bit of everything plus it’s pink.
