      How is this a regular occurrence? Are they factory farming donkeys alongside cows for some reason? That would have no profit motive and I don’t think you’re talking about when a family farm’s donkey dies and they sell it to be used in dog food, so I’m honestly interested in how this has become such a widespread practice.

        horse maybe, but donkey? they’re very specifically working creatures and using them for anything other than pet food wouldn’t make sense.

          Ask the people in the Provence (France) and Veneto (Italy) regions. They’ve got donkey salami traditions.
