Saddened

Reporting an unbelievable inhuman attack on a donkey

The whole village repulsed

Parents deeply ashamed 

"How could this be true? Our child...?"

Rabies contracted - god help the rabies!

Only the donkey was put down.

The topic at hand is quite mind-blowing! We here in the boondocks have a running joke about this particular pastime, but I thought it was only a joke! Your poem is nicely sarcastic & could be a metaphor for all the ways a victim gets blamed! *sheesh!* (((HUGS)))

[Tony Jordan]

I like the way you look at this with the broader perspective BG. I felt ashamed for those parents of the kids.
Thank you my friend (hugs)

[Carol Cashes]

I'm with barleygirl - this is the epitome of victim blaming.

[Neville]

Regardless of whether these events are indeed true and not just some sicko's idea of a bad joke and jumping on the fake news bandwagon, then you have done the donkey proud my friend. We live in a sad old world to be sure

[Tony Jordan]

I would never want to be reincarnated as a donkey - surely the most put upon little working animal on the planet and then these perverted clowns to contend with.
Thank you kindly Nev.
I appreciates it...

[Jimmy Yetts]

Tragic and profoundly sad.
"Pieces of a*s" comes to mind but I have neither the heart, nor the stomach, to complete such a "joke."
Thoroughly depraved behavior!--the sort that once brought on "The Great Flood!"

[Tony Jordan]

We used to knock doors and run for kicks but this is more than just 'horse-play' eh Jimmy?
Thank you Sir.

Thanks for this uplifting start to my day of rest Tony! Perhaps in some parallel universe fifteen donkeys might be exacting revenge.
Cheers,
Alan

[Tony Jordan]

Well if they are - I hope they 'burro' a big hole in der 'asses.'
Thank you Alan.

O.M.G. Out of such an incredibly horrible story you have managed to write a powerful statement of victim blaming. I am without any more words.

[Lydia Shutter]

Blame the victim....always happens, doesn't it? Sort of a gross premise in this one, but you get the point across well. Lydi**

Raping a rabid donkey is about as hard-up as any human can get.
Still, the donkey may have been slumming.
God save us!

[Tony Jordan]

black humour is the only way we can process this Frank, for definite. I'm sure a few of them will be lying on pleather couches in adulthood trying to get the braying to stop
Thank you for the review FJ

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A truly unbelievable tale told with a tongue-in-cheek ending with a sense of pathos!

[Tony Jordan]

Damn John - how could kids even contemplate such a vile act...although we've seen what kids are capable of time and again?

Have you become amphibious yet my friend - we are evolving into half guppy over here this Summer lol.
Thanks John.

Just back from Mull where we were treated to the proverbial dreich week!

[Tony Jordan]

Aww mate...lol
The local DJ on the radio said 'it so wet that even the ducks are gurning' (i.e. greeting/crying)

[Doodley]

S**t! Is that true?!!

Lost for words! As an Equine Scientist i am laughing it up with my Equus pals!

[Tony Jordan]

Sadly it's all too true.
If there had been a chimera the better parts would have been equine methinks.
Cheers Doodley

Was the brothel closed for renovations??!
