Amazon: Stop the Cruel Treatment of Donkeys
EKO.org
Five million donkeys are killed every year to produce a special kind of gelatin used in cosmetic products and supplements that claim to enhance health and preserve youth.
Some donkeys are skinned alive.
Those that die being transported are often skinned on the spot, their remains discarded by the side of the road.
If they survive the journey, the donkeys are bludgeoned to death on arrival.
We can stop this cruelty.
eBay has already banned the sale of "ejiao" gelatin.
It's time for retail giant Amazon to follow suit and stop participating in the exploitation of these intelligent creatures.
Donkeys are affectionate animals with incredible memories.

People will buy anything that says its the Fountain of Youth. No proof required.
Google does not say why this same compound isn't produced by horses, if its a type of glue. Remember the prehistoric days when old horses were sold to glue factories?
Wendy and Roy, our two mini-donkeys, find this practice horrifying and scary.
