PETA learned that Warner Springs Ranch resort in California planned to hold a donkey basketball game as part of its “family night.” We, along with other activist groups, immediately contacted the general manager of the resort to explain the cruelty inherent in this antiquated “sport.” We also pointed out that numerous people have been injured in these games. The manager canceled the game the very same day.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”
— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
