Une mule est un animal hybride issu de l’accouplement d’un âne mâle (baudet) avec une jument. Ce croisement hérite de caractéristiques des deux parents, donnant souvent un animal fort et robuste, combinant la taille et la puissance du cheval avec l’endurance et le pied sûr de l’âne. Les mules sont connues pour leur intelligence et leur entêtement, ce qui en fait d’excellents animaux de travail, notamment sur des terrains difficiles où leur stabilité et leur capacité à porter de lourdes charges sont précieuses. Contrairement aux chevaux, les mules sont stériles en raison de leur nombre impair de chromosomes, ce qui les empêche de se reproduire. Malgré cette stérilité, les mules sont utilisées par l’homme depuis des siècles, en particulier dans l’agriculture, le transport et les usages militaires, grâce à leurs remarquables qualités physiques et mentales.

Today’s story shares the commitment of individuals in West Badawacho, Ethiopia, to improve the welfare for working donkeys.

Lack of equine knowledge, poor husbandry skills and poor societal views, means that donkey welfare is a common issue in Ethiopia. Donkeys face various challenges including poor-fitting saddles, biting from other donkeys when kept in close proximity, inadequate shelter, provision of low-nutrient food, and general overloading and overworking.

Brooke Ethiopia work to address these challenges through their intervention, with one area in particular, West Badawacho, benefitting well from their help. The aim was to create awareness and understanding of donkey husbandry management amongst owners in this area and address the main challenges they faced when caring for their donkeys, including:
- improving saddles and harnesses
- where to source nutritional, balanced feed
- donkey behaviour and how they should be sheltered/interact with other animals
- how to reduce workload but boost productivity.

Brooke Ethiopia achieved this by training a team of 14 animators and 280 change agents. These individuals worked together to monitor the health and wellbeing of the donkeys across West Badawacho and implement the necessary measures to improve their care and protection. In total, these animal welfare advocates covered 14 kebeles (also known as neighbourhoods or villages) which had a total of 22,319 equines🫏

Ayele Dndamo is one of the animators who was trained by Brooke Ethiopia and notes that since intervention from Brooke, donkey welfare in the region has significantly improved. He said that by simply helping owners to gain knowledge and experience in donkey care, welfare of their animals has improved and the animators and change agents could continue to mentor them to further develop their skills.
He mentioned that owners now groom their donkeys regularly, provide good shelter, wash them, understand their behaviour and how to allow them to interact with other donkeys without causing stress or biting, offer them nutritious food, and minimise overloading and overworking.

“The sun rises and never sets on donkey welfare. We understand the significant importance of donkeys for our livelihoods. To ensure a sustainable and continual income, we must better care for the welfare of our donkeys. They are the foundation of our livelihood, and we cannot do without them. This commitment to welfare of our donkeys will continue, even after Brooke.” ~ Ayele, Brooke trained Animator from Ethiopia.
