Many of you won’t be aware of the awful trade in donkey skins known as ejiao

🆘 🫏 🆘

Every year, millions of donkeys are slaughtered for their skins to supply the global ejiao trade.

As you know, donkeys are gentle animals. They are crammed onto trucks and transported for days without adequate food, water, or veterinary care.

Some collapse from exhaustion before they even reach slaughter.

Others arrive injured, dehydrated, and terrified.

Those who survive are killed for their skins, which are used to produce ejiao products sold in cosmetics, supplements, and ‘traditional’ remedies.

Around 5.9 million donkeys are killed every year to feed this trade.

While donkeys suffer, traffickers continue to profit.

To save our beautiful donkeys ~ petitions do make a difference ~ sometimes change can be slow but awareness comes first 🆘 🫏 🆘

SIGN NOW: Sign now to help stop the mass killing of donkeys for ejiao!
