New research into the global donkey population indicates that the trade in the animal's skins has exploded to such a level that they face population collapse.
The nonprofit's report stated that transport and slaughtering conditions for these donkeys were often inhumane, with the animals forced to undergo long truck trips on their way to slaughter. Up to 20 percent of the animals died en route during these trips, according to the study.
The slow reproductive cycle of the donkey has made it difficult to replenish their populations. A mother donkey carries her foal for a year, and the species has been known to encounter fertility issues in farm conditions.
