Pasado the Donkey - original song

Pasado lived on Kelsey creek farms in Bellevue Washington. The farm was a place where parents could bring their kids to see Pasado and the other animals. Well one night three teenagers snuck onto the farm and beat, tortured and finally hung Pasado until he died. There was such a public outcry that Washington state passed some of the toughest laws against animal cruelty in the country. I wrote this song about this tragic event after it happened in the early 1990`s.

Always amazes me at how cruel and unthinking some folks can be, young or old. Tough, touching song, Dan. Peace. ~ Mark

@manriq47 Thanks Mark! Yes it really is unfathomable how some people get there jollys by torturing and killing animals and people to. I think some folks are just BORN evil. RIP Pasado!

@marcoacca Thanks Marco! I hope Pasado is in Heaven now running all about, far away from this evil planet we call Earth.

This broke my heart. I love all animals and respect them. I have vegan for 11 years and do everything I can to help. Thank you for this.

My son learned in a primary school with a little zoo. They had different small and big animals there. One night all the rabbits there and two sheep were killed in a brutal way. How can you explain something like this to a small kid? Thank you for your song.

Nice greetings from Anette

@profwaldo Thanks very much! I have a soft spot of the defenceless victims but a burning hatred for evil monsters like the ones who murdered Pasado. Thanks!

A heart breaking and gut-wrenching story but a wonderful tribute to the poor little fellow.

You have a wonderful heart. Very Nicely done.
