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.
