Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue

Carrizo Springs, TX

Three donkeys were purchased at auction and released on a thousand acre deer preserve.  Left to their own devices, these donkeys became a herd of over 20 over the course of a few years.  The donkeys began to scare the deer away from the hunting blinds and the owner of the property wanted them gone.  We were given a very short amount of time to remove the burros before they were to be shot.

Our team was successful in removing most of the burros using our traps, the local field office of the USDA sent over some cowboys who were able to rope some of the remaining donkeys.  Only two remained, their fate is unknown.
