The canned hunts are horrible, but so is being shot by government hunters, because they aren't native animals. That was done in the name of the American people, & actually is how Mark ended up in Texas, to capture the burros in the Big Bend area so the government wouldn't shoot anymore of them. <br /><br />One problem with the Texas law is<br />42-09-a-8 states it is an offense to trip a horse. Doesn't mention donkeys. 42-09-b-5-b lists "Livestock animal" as, a horse, pony, mule, donkey, or hinny. I would imagine when the law was written they were thinking of the Mexican rodeos where they rope the legs out from under horses. Using equine instead of horse would have given teeth to the law as far as donkeys are concerned.Tishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081546662933736184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35778077.post-1647926986117928912010-06-15T14:28:08.028-07:002010-06-15T14:28:08.028-07:00Very impressive Blog and a GREAT attempt to care f...Very impressive Blog and a GREAT attempt to care for the Donkey.<br />But we all have to think of the Roping Donkeys that are being used and attempting to be absorbed back into our society. So far we have not gotten any good reports. I would hate to think they will wind up on canned ranches in Texas waiting to be shot be trophy hunters. The state laws need more work if we are to stop this Donkey ABUSE.<br />ADA CEO Dale McCallAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
