End donkey rides?

WITH the Greek island of Santorini about to commence its peak cruise season, PETA activists have descended on Greek consulates around the world to protest the donkey-riding industry.

Sydney was among the cities hit by demonstrations which are protesting against tourists taking donkey rides to the town of Fira, despite a cable car available for the trip.

A new law passed this year prevents owners from burdening their donkeys with weights exceeding 100kg.
