Stop donkey rides

[Catherine]

I have heard about these donkeys. As the number of tourists increases the donkeys are pushed to di more and more. Many of the tourists are overweight which puts a terrible stress on the donkeys. They work in the heat without food or water. The who system is cruel. 
I can understand that some people can't climb the stairs. However there are other ways to get to the top. One  place has a cable car which would be a lovely way to travel.

When the donkey rides started they were the only way to get up other than walking. There would have been less people needing a ride. Now that we have other ways of travel, why would we need to force donkeys to endure hardships. Just because someone is on holiday doesn't give them the right to be cruel to animals. If the tourists boycotted the donkeys the whole thing would stop.
