Friend,
Every year, nearly 6 million donkeys are slaughtered for their skin.
Their hides are boiled down to produce ejiao — a traditional Chinese medicine made from collagen. But behind this product lies a horror story of unimaginable suffering.
Investigations have documented donkeys beaten, starved, and dragged to slaughter — many collapsing long before they arrive. Some die on overcrowded trucks in the blistering sun. Others are killed in filthy, unregulated facilities where fear and pain fill the air.
From source to slaughter, they suffer every step of the way. This global trade is decimating donkey populations, devastating communities that rely on them, and causing suffering on a staggering scale. No animal deserves to be treated this way, especially one who has served humanity for centuries with trust and loyalty.
Friend, will you add your name right now to say you reject the global donkey skin trade?
Your voice can help build international pressure to shut down this cruel industry and protect millions of gentle, hardworking animals from being killed for their skin.
Thank you for standing up for donkeys everywhere.
For all animals,
Team AWIP
