TYLER

Well Tyler was the other donkey we saved with Lady Betty from the killpen in Colorado and the father of little Boop. This photo is all I saw of him but who on earth could say no to that face. He was always friendly from the day he arrived and he went to stay at Bend Equine within a few days of arriving to be gelded and all the girls there fell in love with him. He gets chubby in the summer so we have to take him off the grass when it greens up. Otherwise he would really have Dad bod. Nothing is better than a cuddle from Tyler. He now lives out with the entire herd and luckily has lost a lot of weight running the hills with his herd. Tyler, Lady Betty and Little Boop. Our love for donkeys is complete.

Mustangs & Burros Need Your Help

In addition to supporting our work by donating, becoming a patron on Patreon, or sponsoring a Skydog, there are several important pieces of legislation to protect American equines currently moving through Congress. It only takes a few minutes to contact your Rep and Senators and urge them to support these bills:

Save America’s Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act of 2023 (H.R. 3475 in the House / S.2307 in the Senate). This bill will shut down the slaughter pipeline that sends some 20,000 American horses and donkeys to savagely monstrous deaths in foreign slaughterhouses every year.

The Wild Horse & Burro Protection Act of 2023 (H. R. 3656) This bill will prohibit the use of helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft in the management of wild mustangs and burros on public lands, and require a report on humane alternatives to current management practices.

Ejiao Act of 2023 (H.R. 6021). To ​​ban the sale or transportation of ejiao, a gelatin made from boiling donkey skins, or products containing ejiao in interstate or foreign commerce, which brutally kills millions of donkeys primarily for beauty products and Chinese medicine.
