People 220 lbs and over are no longer accepted to ride the donkey, up certain area trails in Italy.

I t is causing spinal and other problems from carring heavy loads.

Note: Don't put your Big *** on their little ***. :smile:

I don't think that's funny, or wrong.
We had miniature donkeys (a lttile bigger than full size goats)..
I wouldn't have tried to ride one....or even stuck a kid that weight over 50lbs on one...

In Canada a person over 250 lbs cannot zip line,..I haven't heard any complaints about that. Surely climbing those steep hills is already hard on that small animal....fat discrimination I think not.

The question was asked on the program, is this fat shaming a person.

The audience said No. It is protecting the Donkey .

most animals are smarter and kinder than most people. i have a
son-in-law who weighs over 400 pounds and has many health problems. Doc told him if he doesnt stop smoking and eating so much he is going to die. S_I_L just ignores that. the childen have begged. my daughter just stopped asking him to try. He works full time, but can barely buy clothes to fit .... It's disgusting. He would totally break a Clydesdale horse's back. Good for setting limits on who can ride. I myself had to lose 50 pounds and am now at 140 and holding. But when doc told ME i could develop diabetes, I immediately changed the way i eat. personally i have more sympathy for animals than people.
