RMweb Gold wombatofludham Posted May 31, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 31, 2016 A nappy it seems. A Kenyan town is so proud of it's newly metalled road it issues an order banning donkey dung and forcing local donkey owners to make them wear a nappy. Whilst Rugeley might have given the world the Donkey Jacket (no donkeys have ever been harmed or harvested in their making I should point out) it seems Kenya is promoting Donkey Diapers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-36398592 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium The White Rabbit Posted May 31, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 31, 2016 I can't find the story now but I think there was a case in Brazil some years ago where something like this happened, the mayor whose idea it was was forced out of office because of the outrage by the donkey/mule/horse owners.

great central Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Great Yarmouth tried it a few year back with the horses on the promenade. Stewart They have a kind of 'tray' attached between the harness and front of the landau. Seems quite effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold wombatofludham Posted May 31, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 31, 2016 I used to live not far from Great Yarmouth. Believe me, horse dung is the least of that town's worries. I quite like the idea of the crap tray, though a tray of steaming donkey or horse effluent might give some charter airlines catering a run for their money. Or ideas.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted June 1, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2016 If they think horse poo is bad they should count themselves lucky the weather doesn't get cold enough to have dogsleds running about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
