Namra on donkeys


My friend Namra, (previously mentioned in the post about FLAFF) is the author of this guest-post about donkeys.


Donkeys

I never liked Donkeys. They’re ugly and make the strangest noise; ”aaaaa iiiiii aaaaaa”. What do they think they’re saying when they make that noise? “Loooook at meeeee, I’m speeecial”, “Iiii’m a freak”! Actually, that sounds a bit like me…but, back to the point; donkeys are ugly, and I’m beautiful, and beautiful things don’t like ugly things. I don’t even like horses, so why the hell would I like donkeys, the horse-midget with bad skin?

On the other hand, I’m supposed to me a good person, and I shouldn’t hate ugly things just because they’re ugly, right? But donkeys are the only ugly things I hate. I know about tons of other ugly things that I don’t dislike. Like ugly people. I love ugly people. Or so called ugly people. I don’t think that anyone is ugly. I look at everybody as a piece of art. But when it comes to donkeys, I’m a cold hearted bitch. Or at least I was, until I watched this documentary on television. I only watched about five minutes of that documentary, but still, it changed my perspective on life, or on donkeys to be more exact.

It was about donkeys of course. A woman owned a donkey farm, where she took care of donkeys that were hurt. She tried to help donkeys that were being used in conflicts and wars. Palestinians would for example paint the flag on the ugly donkey, and the Israelis would answer this by throwing rocks on the donkey, or even putting fire on it. Some donkeys were also used as living bombs, like terrorists, almost. Putting bombs on the stupid little donkey, making it cross the borderline, before it exploded after screaming “aaaaaa iiiiiii aaaaaa”.

Poor little donkey! It’s not he’s fault that he is ugly. It really isn’t. It’s not his fault that he screams like a crazy maniac. It really isn’t. Or maybe he’s not ugly at all. Who are we to judge what is ugly and what is not. After this documentary I decided that the whole world was beautiful. Even dark men who have faces covered in hair. I think they’re called terrorists (even though all bearded men aren’t terrorists). Anyway, my point it, that from this day on, I will not judge donkeys. And I will use my entire life to help and save donkeys!

POWER TO THE DONKEYS!
