My name is Patrick. I used to be a roping donkey. When I was a roping donkey, I was afraid and unhappy.
My mom and dad rescued me and I’m very happy and safe now. But I’m very worried about the donkeys in Van Horn, Texas, because I know how they feel.
It’s very important you know that Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue; America’s largest donkey rescue, is ready, willing and able to take in all the Van Horn roping donkeys.
Please do the right thing, Van Horn, Texas. Please cancel the donkey roping competition scheduled for this Saturday, June 23 at Van Horn Frontier Days.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————
If you’re looking for a way to help, please call Jason Owens; the promoter of the event. His phone number is 432-940-9051. He has said he will take all calls. Please explain to him why he needs to cancel the donkey roping competition in this Saturday’s (June 23) Van Horn Rodeo. We hope that if he receives enough phone calls educating him about why this should not happen – he may decide to bow under pressure.
Also, please write to the editor of the local paper in Van Horn, Texas: Larry Simpson, at The Van Horn Advocate: lsimpson@vanhornadvocate.com
We thank you. And Patrick thanks you. ♥
All the Cuckoos would like to thank you as well. 4500 signatures have been gathered as of last night.....let's keep the pressure on.
I never heard of donkey roping before, but I have now.... and I DON'T LIKE IT! Thank you Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue! Patrick, may you have a long and happy life.
ReplyDeleteThose poor little innocent Donkeys :-( Am i glad we don't have this overhere! But we still have lots of cruelty like fox hunting by royalties :-(
ReplyDeleteAww, well put Patrick!
ReplyDeleteI think that is such a sick and cruel thing to do to such sweet wonderful animals. I just love donkeys. I don't understand anyone using animals for amusement like this. I don't even understand how it's amusement.
ReplyDeletePatrick is a beauty! Love him! Look at those eyes ;o) I really hope things turn out right!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful to see Patrick looking so precious and full of life for his cause. We love him so!
