Donkey Basketball

[THAGOAT345]

What kind of dumbass would actually play this?

[proudtobefromwv]

@THAGOAT345. What kind of a dumbass would actually play this? Probably the same kind of a dumbass that would post something twice, "DUH!". Absolutely nothing wrong with it. You must lead a sheltered life, or you are not to bright.

[THAGOAT345]

@proudtobefromwv i dont lead a sheltered life and actually have an I.Q. score of 130, i'm on my high school's basketball team and i think this sport is retarded. if people enjoy playing it then that's fine, it's just my opinion that playing a sport on fucking donkeys is rediculous.

[THAGOAT345]

What kind of dumbass would actually play this?

[Automotron]

this shit is so stupid :/

[FFAgal1]

Ohh geesh!! I have to do this next Friday the 13th :/ since I'm a FFA Officer of my FFA Chapter

[hoytrider]

@FFAgal1 Haha yeah I have to do it this thursday. should be hilarious. i suck at basketball but this doesn't seem to require much skill.

[apk1215]

I,for one,think that this is cruel. Nobody should be forced to walk out on a court like that and then parade around in the nude! Someone put some pants and shirts on those poor animals!

[PottyMouth7434]

my dad did this as a kid in the 70s and got kicked in the groin.

[brassbend]

The only abuse I see is of the riders!!

[ahmedmahamadmahmood]

where is shrek ?

[bbok1208]

I don't think slow-mo replays are possible in this sport.

[ArturoCuriel13]

Hi,

How would you know what these animals are feeling. According to vets, donkeys have been know to have the ability to hide pain. Some visual signs given of a disturbance are not wanting to go forward, attempting to escape from the trainer or in this case the senseless people in this video, riding these beautiful animals. The continuous pounding to the sides of the animal have been know to break ribs and seriously injure the animal. Maybe you should stop complaining and do a lil research Ü

[crownedman104]

ok look all people bitching and telling us to do research, u do YOUR research, i have seen these events before, the donkeys are well treated in the pens, brushed, fed watered etc so unless its a bunch of dam drunk renecks its NOT ANIMAL CRUELTY THE DONKEYS ARE ENJOYING IT AND NOT BEING BEAT FFS THEIR HAPPY

[Dot10001]

Stubburn ass

[adri2771]

pure americanata. sometimes i feel like i would understand bin laden. peace.

[StainGlassvTV]

WOW PPL These students know how to handle animals it isnt cruel! ppl who say it is dont no the half of it its perfectly humane if it wasn't the school wouldn't let this be held in the first place

[HomDepoMan]

ALL these guys needed was a leather strap to the donkeys rear end !!

[SgtRedstar]

How is this abuse? All they are doing is riding a donkey. They look healthy and fine. The only downside to this is that the donkey may get slightly annoyed.

[thegreatamerican11]

hey reyasdread have you ever gone to polo huh i bet not so shut the fuck up cuz u dont know shit about polo.

[trina19751]

I have never seen this before and I love animals and its sad that ppl think this i abusive it looks liek fun and I bet sense these donkeys are trained they are well better taken care of than what you ppl think

[petsmart1711]

hey how bout you people GET OVER IT! if you dont like what your watching dont freakin watch it! quit whining! and dont you tell me your sticking up for the animal because oviously you arent sitting on a computer talkin crap. and you think this is animal cruelty??!! atleast they arent starved to death and left to die like alot of animals in this world. so worry bout thoes animals not these donkeys who get to go home to a nice home with lots of food and water and shelter.

[ArturoCuriel13]

How are you so sure these animals are going to a nice home. How sure are you that they aren't hurting. Coming from a horse person this is considered animal cruelty. There feet are not made to withhold the surface they are forcefully being drug upon. Putting inexperienced riders on innocent animals results in a large amount of kicking to the stomach and guess what, It doesn't feel to good. Putting fat-asses on donkeys that are a third of their size should be illegal. Do some research.

[crownedman104]

@ArturoCuriel13 well, the animals look happy, well fed, and ive whatched 1 of these up close b4 donkeys just look rather confused rofl

[Citydogz45]

@ArturoCuriel13 ok my first question is why are you watching the video if you disagree my second would bw have you ever been to a donkey basketball game they are never abused and its the funniest thing i have ever seen in my life another thing my friend thsy are not abused and if the donkey getds to pissed they have back ups so they can be put back in the trailer so to u i say do some research

[hunterx5123]

derbyballer24 you are a champ people are to sensitive these days about animals. seriously i mean to me it looks like the PACK MULES are having a great time providing laughs for millions of people

[jameshrudd]

Quite honestly, donkeys are pack animals, so this is definitely NOT animal cruelty for all you animal rights activists out there. Besides, it looks like the humans are having a worse time out there than the donkeys! But this seriously looks like it would be fun to watch live.

[bilbobagginsofbagend]

while this could definately be considered as animal cruelty, i have to say its pretty fucken funny!

[dadsbabypu]

The donkey's that refuse to perform end up as a dish at the local chinese buffet.

[derbyballer24]

I would not mind being used for what i was created for. God put anything and everything on this planet for humans to use as a tool, or to benefit humans. You say the donkeys dont like it, but if you notice when the guy is bucked off, he's riding way to far back on the donkey, and is touching his flank, which is a tickel spot much like cows and horses have. They aren't yanking them around by their ears, they have halters on them which are designed to steer the donkey if it is properly trained.

[jimmy6700]

obviously the donkeys doesnt like it..so therefore its animal cruelty..AS SIMPLE AS THAT....bitches....

[StainGlassvTV]

@jimmy6700 it isnt animal cruelty the animals are trained the students are in ffa therefore know how to properly handle the animals

[derbyballer24]

how can anyone see this as animal abuse? how is this cruel? People have riden donkeys for thousands of years. You people probably think that it was animal abuse to use donkeys back when they were the only source of trasnporation. Most of you probably dont even think about your ancestors doing this same thing. You probably think its cruel to teach a dog to sit and lay down too huh?

[hcoll]

@derbyballer24 That it has been done for thousands of years doesn't mean it still isn't animal cruelty. Would you like to be forced to carry someone on your back all day while they pull you by the ears and yell at you? Only to be left tied to a pole when not being used?

Didn't think so.

[VolleyballsquRE]

This is cruel and barbaric!

[StainGlassvTV]

@VolleyballsquRE barbaric?

[wutwusthat]

Dude. If I were one of those donkeys... all that screaming and noise and being tugged around by some smelly sweaty fucknuts in helmets throwing a big hard orange ball around WHILE trying to climb their lazy sacks of ass onto my back?

I don't know about you man, but teeth would go flying.

Props to these animals for taking that shit.

[lefonceur26]

If I were the donkeys, I'd shit all over the damn court....

[zayasmom99]

I have been to many donkey ball games and theres nothing cruel or mean about them. If anything it will make your sides hurt from laughing so hard. The donkeys are never mistreated... grow up people

[c0dekill]

You cannot get a donkey to do anything it does not want to do. Donkeys do not take well to being beaten, and they do not work for people who abuse them.

These are healthy, happy donkeys, and they are doing what they want to do.

Some of you animal rights morons need to actually spend some time around animals instead of watching Disney movies.

[gleasonjgleason]

totally agree 1000%

[petaperson101]

@c0dekill You have no idea what you're talking about. Speaking of moron...

[taratrainwreck]

FucK this! Anyone who does this sort of cruel "sport" is out of their ignorant mind!!!!

[reyasdread]

Speaking of ignorant.....Have you guys ever heard of polo???? Its the same thing. And from what I have seen of this sport animals are not abused. They carry the players.....Donkey's are pack animals after all. They're bred to carry things. Hello!!!

[petaperson101]

@reyasdread retard....

[classicalman114]

@reyasdread I have to disagree with you.... this is fairly different in most respects. The donkeys are being paraded around a noisy, enclosed gymnasium while their handlers get pretty rough in the process of being caught up in the game. Polo is quieter as well as being held outdoors, with the contestants being more professional in their conduct. Donkey Basketball is one hell of a joke and is for rednecks, by rednecks. with no respect for the animals involved.

[icehorse91]

they dont know what the hell ther doing

[gleasonjgleason]

wow you guys are ignorant donkeys don't care what is happening to them all you PETA freaks should shut up

[intriguing22]

How the fuck do you know they don't care? Are you some sort of donkey whisperer?

[gleasonjgleason]

yea whatsit toya?

[intriguing22]

Oh, that's right. Sorry. I completely forgot that people can talk to donkeys and know exactly what they're thinking. Gee whiz, I guess I really am ignorant.

Unethical fuck.

[Desigurl03]

your ignorant for saying donkeys dont care about not getting food or water and getting beat ur right they dont understand anything WTF

[AmourCestVous]

Donkey Basket ball ball is horribly cruel.

[GigiLuvsRomeo18]

donkey basketball is for asses

[Beatlegirl4eva]

The donkeys don`t look like they mind a whole lot, except for the bad mounting, that`s when they`re bucking, but once the rider is on decently, the donkey doesn`t seem to mind walking. And the donkeys look healthy.

The riders don`t know what they`re doing though. But the donkeys look like they`re getting a laugh out of watching the weirdoes fall.lol

[loyalcasanova]

cruelty to animals

[SimpsonsGuy23]

@loyalcasanova PETA just held a protest outside my school about it today, I was part of it. So I totally agree with you!

[minamoo74]

Sorry this is as bad as dancing bears, I didnt even know this existed. If it was on a grass court like polo or horseball, with riders that looked like they knew what they was doing possilbly could be swayed but this, no. Although the donkeys do looked well cared for and healthy and at least they are not using bridles with bits on just simple head collars.

[togalogs]

Completely degrading to the animals and entirely the wrong message any self respecting school should be sending.

The organisers of this crap are nearly as bad as the idiots in Spain who arrange bull running/fighting.

[gayboy298]

this is just a huge clusterfuck

[atvfreak250]

that would be funny if one took a shit on the floor

[ColinFC83]

Torturing donkeys looks like a lot of fun.

fuckin hillbillys.

[callmetoby93]

if you saw how the donkeys run to the trailer when they see it pull up in the field to go play one of these games or saw how they enjoy going out on the road and getting all the attention during one off these then you would change your mind about how much tourter this is.....THEY LOVE IT

[togalogs]

You 'think' they love it. Don't confuse idiotic human 'fun' for animals.

[Maanlingxx]

omg americans are sooooooooo stupid... those poor poor animals.....

[atvfreak250]

shut the fuck up

[Maanlingxx]

yeah, thats really mature....

*grin*

[katheblanco123]

dan spoor je toch niet arme ezels die beestjes hebben ook een leven

[ingridVeen92]

horrible =(

[firesidegirl]

That is just retarded

[globalzero]

retards go die.

[JudelovesRiver12]

This is not cool! Why do people do such retarded things? Why do people find this entertaining?! It's sad.. and fucking moronic! I mean seriously! Who comes up with this shit?! Gay! Animals should not be used for entertainment! They should be able to live without having some dipshit go up and sit their balls on their back -__-

[10stephanie10]

i agreee

[69AlArmA]

What a Bunch of Human Savages!!!Poor Donkeys.

[canadian9586]

this looks fun anyone who says that this is animal cruelty is retarded and need to shut up

[jennabaker10]

that guy seems so mean to that donkey. at 0:97 throw 2:57

[10stephanie10]

you know this is wrong and the most retarded thing ever to put helpless animals in a stadium and ride them around like packmules

[BigDaddyDaveinKC]

sooo funny YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!!! THEY ARE PACKMULES!!!!!!!!!! How stupid. You think they prefer being inside and doing this for an hour or being made to be outside and pull a plow or a cart all day in rain snow heat. I would bet they would prefer this. And if you say " they should be left alone and let them be free" You are even more of an idiot, what do we do start giving them all birth control.

[TatsujinKairiki]

hahahahaha

[tremkosfarm]

They dont look abused to me but whatever most animals are happy to have human contact, where we live that would be more human contact than any animal would get, yes that in itself is wrong but we do the best we can here too. as no one even cares if they run an animal over here, we do but they dont. Those donkeys look quite well fed to me and not diseased.

[jameshrudd]

@10stephanie10 -They ARE pack mules!

[10stephanie10]

@jameshrudd Dude seriously?? that was a long time ago.

[thinice53]

this is disgusting and if you think the guy who owns the donkeys is not cruel to them, then why is he forcing them to be subjected to this? would you let your family pets be treated like this? I hope you someday learn what is right and what is wrong and this is wrong wrong wrong

[mclose85]

At my school the guy who runs it has trained all the donkeys, its not cruel to them. And they aren't deprived of food, they go right on the court, the rider cleans it up and it is humorous.

[DELISHUZZ14]

hahha. this is hilarious. my school is doing this today, ill put it up later :D

[kevinthewid]

wow you guys that vote down must be retarded. i invite any ladies to try my tofu though

[andallweretaken]

haha wow ... so i guess u hate Mexicans as well, and Jesus -... both have used donkeys, but seriously, your one of those ppl who don't eat meat right.. thats good more for me. im eating the meat so those animals didn't die invane, they died to feed me!...and i don't care how they kill them it all taste the same coming out of the oven!!! HAHAHAHAHA

[beefjerkyinmymouth]

did you just copy and paste journeyman47's response?

[littleshawty123]

in hornell its all gansta no helments and its boys agains girls and there teachers ahhh yeah!!!...lolz

[MichaelBe33]

i saw this on The Onion and I can't believe this is real...

[macar3no]

me too!!!

[journeyman47]

Donkey basketball fundraisers send kids the message that its OK to abuse and humiliate those who are weaker than they are. Besides being yanked and mistreated by children with no handling experience, in order to keep them from having accidents on the court, the frightened, confused donkeys are often deprived of food and water for hours before games. Schools from coast to coast have stopped hosting cruel donkey basketball because they want to help nurture kind kids, not bullies.

[aurenwander]

Prove it.

i swear the idiots i see on the internet give me less and less hope for the future every day

[journeyman47]

aurenwander: Prove what? Just looking at the video and seeing those large, overgrown morons on those little donkeys is revolting enough for any sane person, and needs no further "proof".

But you're right about one thing: the idiots I see on the internet, like these clowns, give me less hope also.

[Ducksrule123]

fuck peta

one of the biggest jokes ive ever heard of

[xshadboo84x]

that's your opinion i was just stating mine.

[journeyman47]

Your language is about as good an example for children as donkey basketball is.

And as usual, people who defend using animals for cheap laughs use ugly words just as disgusting as their thoughtless attitudes.

[xshadboo84x]

this is absolutely disgusting animals shouldn't be pushed and pulled around like that for your now personal amusement, its just sicking how would you like it if u were the poor donkey(yeah not so much fun)you people have no heart at all. you all disgust me.

[beefjerkyinmymouth]

soo...You accidently typed up Donkey Basketball?

[xshadboo84x]

i was on peta2 and they were talking about cruelty in donkey basketball so shut your mouth and dont open it till you know what your talking about

[beefjerkyinmymouth]

So you typed up the words "donkey" and "basketball" to witness some cruelty?

[xshadboo84x]

i didnt know what donkey basketball it was so i looked it up to see for my self and i can't talk about something if i haven't seen it.

[beefjerkyinmymouth]

can you name how much cruelty was in this video?

[xshadboo84x]

yeah the fact that they are making poor defenseless donkeys run up and down a court against there will is enough.

[beefjerkyinmymouth]

how do you know there not willing to play? and besides it's like gym class at my school

[xshadboo84x]

how do you know they are willing to play? well your school has no morals.

[beefjerkyinmymouth]

how doesn't my school have morals?

[fairyfairylover123]

@xshadboo84x they are well taken care of how dumb of a person you can be there not getting hurt its quite funny donkeys are strong they have strong wills they can carry alot of what that what they were ment for duh-.-

[meaddy69]

[xshadboo84x]

wow veryy mature.

[ddpoopooyeah]

butthead reatart

[BrenttheGreat]

I doubt the janitors okay'd that one.

[CanadainIdiot]

What about the poop?

[ket84]

the donkeys aren't fed a few hours before the "game", so no poop is produced..

Stupid people riding stupid animals... stupid!

[gfhhst]

It gets cleaned up.

[tonewinwy]

That was funny lol lol. I went to a Donkey Bball the other night. Hopefully it'll come back next year.

[8AWMQ]
