Donkey Basketball was the featured attraction Wednesday, July 30 at the Crittenden County, Kentucky Lions Club Fair. The games featured teams from county schools like Frances, Tolu and Mattoon.
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.
