HOUSTON (AP) – With pastures withered from a lingering drought, farmers in Texas and northwest Louisiana have abandoned donkeys by the hundreds, turning them into wandering refugees that have severely tested animal rescue groups.
The nation’s biggest donkey rescue group says that since March 2011, it has taken in nearly 800 donkeys abandoned in Texas, where ranchers mainly used the animals to guard their herds. Many of the cattle and goats have been sold off, largely because of the drought and the nation’s economic slump, putting the donkeys out of a job.

Donkeys will continue to be used to guard the flocks, historically they have done a good job of it.
Besides, no one would ever put an elephant in their pasture to protect their livestock. They eat all they can find, trample crops and leave nothing for the smaller, more numerous critters to survive on....

That was a good reply, copperline. However, Tarzan and I are going to stick with the elephants.
