Fur coats, sure. Jennifer Lopez's weird fox-hair eyelashes, take 'em. But not from our cold, dead, on-top-of-a-donkey hands will you pry this basketball, PETA.The animal rights organization is asking a Wisconsin high school to cancel a fundraiser featuring the sport, because the animals are pulled and shouted at when they don't want to play. Apparently they don't realize that's the whole point of donkey basketball: Donkeys don't do anything they don't want to do, so it's hilarious to watch your high school chemistry teacher try to get one to saunter around a basketball court for charity.
If that last sentence confused you because you're some kind of city folk that ain't never heard of no donkey basketball, don't worry -- we've got video after the jump of donkey basketball bloopers, probably edited by a high school student for class credit.
Do you really want to take the right to make donkey basketball videos for class away from America's children, PETA? Come on.

Dopy as can be...Go the the middle East and watch the news or whatever. Donkey carts. Donkeys with loads on their backs. Donkeys with people on their backs. Peta is just a buch of jerks who don't know waht to do with themseles. They are living their own fantasy world.

Those donkeys don't look like they're being mistreated. If anything, the riders are the ones taking the beating. So you say you shouldn't use animals for your entertainment when you're probably clapping and cheering on various dog trainers. This isn't like bullfighting. PETA has its right points to stop INHUMANE treatment of animals but they seem to stray off the path more often than not.

Those poor donkeys are carted around the country by toothless rednecks who don't give a damn if the animals are hungry, thirsty, hot or cold. As soon as they finish one of these "games" they are loaded back on the truck and hauled off to the next gig......whether in the blazing hot sun of summer of the blizzard conditions of winter. I stopped contributing to our local Fire Department because they held one of these "events".

Aw, I'm an animal-loving non-hunter and I don't think it hurts a thing. The donkeys looked like they were well taken care of and nobody was abusing them. Plus, it was all for charity. I think everyone had a good time. Let 'em play! Besides, looked like the donkeys got the best of the humans most of the time anyway!

Those donkeys look scared and confused. Sad that people have to entertain themselves by watching other creatures be forced to do human bidding and suffer. PETA is weird, yes, but they do have a role at opening our eyes to the animals point of view.

I'm not surprised at the majority of people on these posts who think it's amusing to exploit an animal for their own amusement..and people wonder why I love animals and HATE people. (Now watch all the hateful comments to me and I'll prove my point.)

I know it may look to some like these animals are being abused, especially since they look petite next to some of the humans, but as a country girl who has been around various livestock all my life, let me just remind you that donkeys are tremendously strong for their size, stubborn, and yes they have a sense of humor. Would you prefer that these donkeys be doing their "traditional" work of being hitched to a plow for fourteen hours a day, every day? As for PETA, they are insanely hypocritical. 98% of all the "rescues" they do end up being euthanized without even having a chance to be adopted. Animals are safer without PETA's interference than with them.

PETA is an organization that tries to pass laws to protect animals...animals that don't have a voice. PETA is no different than the ASPCA, The Doris Day Animal League etc. They have to euthanize animals because they're are simply not enough homes thanks to IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE who shouldn't be allowed to have a pet in the first place. Instead of condemning an organization that is trying to do GOOD, why don't YOU HATERS go out and try and do something positive with your lives like helping those that need you instead of being so hateful.

By the way, for those interested, if you sometimes post comments on Pop Eater (and their related popsugar) and AOL sites, they will censor what you say, and not just for vulgarities. If the comment is not PC enough and disagrees with what they think, they will not post it. I found it ironic in that the place I tested this idea with popeater was on the article on Muslim censorship, via threats of violence (surprise, surprise), of South Park. So just be aware that Pop Eater is into censorship big time. Two of their favorite protectorates are Muslims and illegal aliens. Politics daily will also follow suit and censor an absolutely true, non-vulgar comment simply because they disagree with it and it is not PC enough. I have been repeatedly testing the popeater and Politics Daily comments section and they also censor any negative comments about themselves, such as this. Apparently they are ashamed of what they are doing and trying to hide it. In some, popeater was censoring comments while allowing others to use profane vulgarities. How inconsistent and hypocritical. The latest confirmatory test was 11/13/10.

PETA PETA PETA PETA. Thank them for raining on circuses, rodeos, horseracing, donkey basketball, greyhound tracks, and the Iditarod. If they had their way, we'd turn all animals loose and they'd have to fend for themselves ...

I could justify this spectacle if one or two donkeys were slaughtered afterwards and used to feed the poor. They could advertise and the homeless could congregate outside the donkey basketball game (outside, of course) then, after one of the donkeys was barbequed, scraps of the carcass would be tossed to the hungry. The hungry would scramble and fight for the good pieces of meat and provide a second show. If you are critical of this plan, why do you think that you are the only one who has a right to be a carnivore? It is why donkeys and the poor were put on earth. God bless our troops.

I hope PETA succeeds. Surely they can find better ways to make money than to abuse the poor donkey. The people participating with the donkeys are seemed to have a donkey mentality.

For those out there worried about the court, a woman's high heel exerts as much as 500 times the force in pounds per square inch as will a normal shoe or a donkey's hoof. Nothing is being damaged or hurt. This is simply fun and funny to watch. Now for those serious minded sophisticates out there, when the donkey's learn to comprehend words like respect and dignity, you'll have a point. Until then, this is harmless fun.
