As if the English need ammunition to look down their noses at the Americans, the site Telegraph.co.uk carries this story about the terrible fund raisers who torture donkeys for sport and donations.
It's terrible, just terrible.
PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals) representatives said....
Under pressure from organisations such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), however, school districts in states including Oregon, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania have banned the activity.
PETA claims the sport is cruel because donkeys are confused in the chaos and are often dragged, kicked and whipped to make them perform.
They also say the animals can be hurt by overweight riders and are deprived of food and water for several hours before a game so they do not foul on the basketball court.
New Jersey, no problem, just have the students ride the hairy backs of Italian men.
