Hi donkey...

Did you got offended? I don't care... But question is why you got offended. For ages donkeys are considered as stupidest animal ever existed... We have seen many cartoons, books , proverbs like
"Stubborn as a donkey"
"An ass is but an ass,though laden with the gold"
Etc etc

So... Why donkey are considered stupid then? And why horse is considered symbol of pride? This contain a full length history class, but let me try to keep it short.

Horses were easy to get startled and they used to respond to the owner's command so fast since they were always in a stimulated state. But in turn donkeys never do things without thinking it twice. They don't get panic attacks easily. And more than that, donkeys were the best companion for the poor and horses where the member of royal families. So... The perfect slave was given royal tag and perfect companion for the poor where considered dumb and unworthy. Did you know that donkey's milk have more similarity to breast milk of human than other animals like cow,goat etc ? One more thing... We all know how many horses died in war because they believed in humans.

I have criticised horse till now, but I admire the horsepower. Each creature has its own special features right ? But donkeys don't deserve to be humiliated since they took the burden of the poor for ages.

Now think...
Before you humiliate someone. They might not have the features to be your best "slave". But they might have the ability to make their own decisions for their own well being!

Now again... Bye horse!
