26 Donkey hide trade

In this podcast vet Joe Collins from the donkey sanctuary tells us about the fact that donkeys are not small horses with long ears and that they are on the way to extinction. Why? Because due to a product called Ejao the demand for donkey hides (gelatine from skin) has risen dramatically. And that does not only affect the donkey itself but also the families who rely on donkeys as essential parts of their livelihood. A story of “ one world - one health - one welfare”. https://www.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/ https://www.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/news/opposition-grows-to-donkey-skin-trade
