"I saw this statement on the internet that "More People are killed by donkeys that in airline crashes each year. Now my spouse doesn't
want me to get a donkey! Is this true? Help!"
NO, this statement has been plagueing us for several years now. It first appeared somewhere as a "factoid", but it, along with several
others on that list, is TOTALLY FALSE. (We now hear that the National Geographic channel is using it in a commercial!) Until recently, we had
absolutely NO IDEA where they got the so -called fact to base this rumor on. We have now found out that it was spawned due to the numbers of auto
accidents caused by loose donkeys in Mexico and the Middle East! We often hear of people being INJURED by their donkeys, but can't yet name one
case where someone in the USA was killed by a donkey-and there have certainly been hundreds of people killed each year in plane crashes. You'd
think that several hundred people killed by donkeys each year would be publicized better somewhere OTHER than a "factoid sheet". People
contact the ADMS for all sorts of reasons, but having searched the archives, we cannot find any notices of members or people killed by a donkey. (In
Nov 2005 we found one headline of a man in Egypt being killed by his donkey - he had beaten the animal and it savaged him.) In truth more people are
bitten by their family dog! Being killed in an auto collision with a loose donkey is not being killed by a donkey - it's being killed in an auto
collision, which happened to involve a donkey. Help us to dispell this awful rumor-mill factoid - it's not true, it's bunk, treat it as
such. Please don't let this statement stop you from getting a donkey or any other animal if you wish to own one!
Another one bites the dust!!!
Cheers
Chris
