Spanish Donkeys

in #photography7 years ago

Greetings, fellow Steemians!

While browsing for a particular photo in my image catalog, I came across some these images. There are two types of animals that seem to seek me out for pats: dogs and donkeys!

Mientras buscando una foto específica en mi catálogo de imágenes, encontré por casualidad las estas. Hay dos animales que siempre me acercan para darles patas ¡los perros y los burros!

An old man from the country told me that the Spanish donkey is disappearing. With changes in agriculture, particularly the use of technology, donkeys aren't considered as important as they once were. He also told me that there is a group dedicated to the survival of the donkey species.

Un campesino viejo me contó que está desapareciendo el burro español. Con cambios en la agricultura, el uso de la tecnología, sobre todo, ya no se consideran importantes los burros tanto como antes. El campesino también me contó que hay un grupo que se dedica a la sobrevivencia de esta especie de burro.

This donkey was out in the ruins of the Roman village of Acinipo, located near Ronda, Málaga. She was very old and enjoying her retirement.

Esta burra se encontró en las ruinas del pueblo Romano de Acinipo, cerca de Ronda, Málaga. Era muy vieja y disfrutando de su jubilación.

These two donkeys were always together. Every time I went hiking around Los Barrios, they would find me for some pats!

Estos dos se encontraron siempre juntos. Cada vez que hacía senderismo por Los Barrios ¡Me encontraron para darles patas!

If I ever make a couple million somehow, I'll buy a little land in Spain and raise a donkey or two. Thank you for taking a look at this post. I hope you found it enjoyable!

Si algún día gano unos millones de alguna manera, compraré una finca en España y tener uno o dos burros. Gracias por mirar este artículo. ¡Espero que le haya gustado!

Cheers!

These are great! I got to pet some adorable donkeys on a farm last fall. They're so gentle!

Thanks! They have a great demeanor, donkeys.

Aww, those donkeys are so cute. What is contributing to their disappearing??

Thanks! Technology (tractors, mowers, etc.) are being used everywhere, replacing donkeys labor function. Nobody seems to want to have a stubborn donkey pull their cart, if they can jump on a tractor. They do a good job keeping down the scrubby vegetation, though.

You're welcome! That makes sense. Sounds like they're good lawn mowers though, lol.

nice
thanks for sharing

Thanks for looking :)
