Region: Nepal
Target: Brick killn owners, Ministry of Labour and Transport Management
Background (Preamble):
Working donkeys of Nepal are among the most neglected creatures in the country. They toll and slave in brick killns, as riksha wallahs, as porters.
First hand observations show that the donkeys receive no medical care and suffer from malnutrition, open sores, lacerations, and general neglect.
In the absence of any care sick donkeys are left to die by the roadside. The situation of donkeys in brick killns has been compared to a 'mediaeval hell hole' by a social worker.

Petition:
I urge the authorities and donkey owners to introduce a care system for working donkeys, some of the most hardworking and most neglected creatures in this world.
Like the human workers the donkeys deserve basic medical care, nutrituous food, shelter and pasture.
