And the baby’s go wild

After more than 100 years, beach donkey rides in parts of Wales are officially coming to an end as concerns about animal welfare continue to grow.

For generations, donkey rides were seen as a classic part of seaside holidays. Families grew up with them. Children waited in line for them. It became a tradition many people never questioned.

But over time, that started to change.

More people began asking what these long days on crowded beaches were actually like for the donkeys themselves.

Concerns about heat, exhaustion, physical strain, and stressful working conditions slowly pushed the debate into the spotlight.

One of the biggest changes happened at Coney Beach in Porthcawl, where donkey rides that had existed for decades will no longer continue after new restrictions involving animals on the beach were introduced.

For some, it feels sad seeing such an old tradition disappear.

But others believe traditions should evolve when animal welfare is involved.

Because memories and entertainment should never come at the cost of an animal spending its life carrying people in the heat.

And maybe this is part of a bigger shift in how society now chooses to treat animals-with more compassion than before.
