    I would trust a donkey to be my best friend before a horse. Donkeys are fucking rad and protect live stock really well. And will fuck up predators.

      I’ve not had much experiences with donkeys beyond basically state fairs, but that does track with what I’ve heard about them…

      … tend to be a fair deal more intelligent than the average horse, and yeah I have heard that they’ll actually stand and fight, more often than a horse, who will often just freak out and then run in some random direction, potentially directly into a tree.
