How about you stop exploiting donkeys all together for your personal gain?
For the record: no donkeys have been exploited by feddit.uk or at least not by me. I have a dozen ducks on a treadmill powering the site though.
I guess they are more reliable than the industry standard hamsters given the British weather?

The water slides right off?
The you was a rhetorical one addressing the person being interviewed not you OP directly.
Thanks for clarifying.
Yeah, people look at this and think this is some sort of thoughtful and kind decision, when in reality this is a business decision to keep the donkey running. Because at the end of the day this donkey is enslaved for this mans gain.
I wonder how people would feel about a headline that looks like this "slave owner buys high quality tools and proper lifting equipment to help reduce stress from phisical labor for his slaves" what a saint right?
Mate, if you think running donkey rides is the same as owning slaves then you really need to rethink your world view a bit. I'm all for reducing animal cruelty but I don't think this argument is helping.
Yeah, he also didn't buy the donkey high quality equipment right? Have you ever heard of an hyperbole?
Yep.
