The Donkey haunts me! Hee Haw!

I regress here. The first day I arrive in Benidorm I am sooo happy to see Michelle, she has a great apartment and looks so happy. I look out the window 8 floors up and here Hee haww! There is a donkey in the lot across the street. They are gypsey's living in an abandoned house. The Hee haw goes off at all times of day or night, I didn'trelize how loud a donkey could be. I stare out the window at the donkey checking on him several times a day...o.k. maybe 40 times, I'm becoming obsessed with this donkey. How does he eat? Does he have water? I don't see anyone caring for him. Finally on the 5th day of my concerns I spot a gypsey lady shrouded in all black giving him food. He is tied to a robe in one spot forever. It has to be 100 degrees in the sun. He's there always. Oh where in the world is Peta when you need them. It makes me realize how animals all over the world must be treated. I see kids late one night with firebrackers throwing them near him. The next day I see 2 little boys come near him and then run as he starts to hee haw, they run and approach him from another side. All of a sudden they throw a bunch of food his way, ah well, all kids are not bad huh. I still wonder about that donkey even now home in Malibu.
