I have long been mesmerized by baby donkeys and how incredibly cute they are in comparison to their older counterparts, but then I got into looking at if there was any use in having a donkey over a horse. It turns out that donkeys are much better animals than horses in many aspects that humans use them for! Whether it be for farm use or the typical desert scene where a dried out cowboy is riding one across the desert, donkeys are incredible animals. 

The sheer force of the donkeys is actually more than most every breed of horse, and this allows them to be utilized not only as farm animals, but also as animals that can be used to fix issues suffered by natural disasters. There has been incidents where donkeys were used to pull limbs or trees fallen down during hurricanes when cars or other machinery was unable to.

Donkeys also  back up the stereotype of latin american leaders using donkeys on the battlefield instead of horses, but there was actually viable reason as to why they did that. Donkeys are not as skittish as horses are and tend to be more reliable around the loud noises caused by battles. They also tend to avoid dangers around them better than horses, and will make decisions based on keeping their own selves safe.
