Forced up 500 scorching steps in Santorini. Beaten through the ancient desert ruins of Petra. Gentle donkeys are worked to exhaustion—hauling tourists up steep, crumbling paths under a blazing sun, denied access to food and water, driven by handlers with sticks and whips, their joints strained under the weight of overloaded riders. When they falter, the beatings intensify—and when their bodies give out, they are abandoned.

Help stop this cruelty. Make a gift to PETA's Global Compassion Fund to protect donkeys from abuse and violence in the tourism industry and beyond.
