Did you know that donkeys are among the most trafficked animals in the world? An estimated 4.8 to 5.9 million donkeys are slaughtered annually for ejiao, a product made from donkey hide gelatin. In other parts of the world, many endure harsh working conditions and exploitation in tourism and transportation industries. Help give these adorable, affectionate, and loyal animals a brighter future. Get your tickets to The Donkey Sanctuary’s Teddy Bears’ Picnic 2026 here now.
