Kent Evans; The Donkey whisperer...
The government of Alberta has this to say about Donkeys;
... it must be acknowledged that the largest segment of the donkey industry may currently be the people who own them as pets. The pet category is dominated by the miniature but it would be incorrect to assume that the miniatures are not establishing their own reputation as equine performance animals.
What does this have to do with what Im about to show you?
Nothing...
Because we are in Guanajuato, and when you race donkeys ritualistically once a year for the anniversary of your local bar Its vacation time for all. The donkeys get pet and fed with nothing all that heavy on their backs. Big fat gringos maybe (recently mexican fed also, so probably lost a bunch of fast food wight), but better than the 350pound load of bricks they carrie 5 days a week.
When you google "El Fusilado" you will get a myspace...
and you can se pictures from previous races.
Noticing my lack of participation, lots of people come up close to me with intent to have a whispered conversation about the mistreatment to the little critters. They did not notice that I was actually glorifying the event taking pictures. So I kept my mouth shut and continued with what I do...
And the proud winner of the Fusilado Donkey race 2010 is this guy. With the prize, a bottle of their best Mezcal.
