Have you rescued the donkeys in Corfu?

I know that there's a lot of news about the donkey attractions in Greece and the mistreatment of donkeys. My friend is really into saving animals and all that, so on our trip I wanted to visit this donkey sanctuary. Have any of you been? I didn't even know this was a thing.

Yes, I went a few years back and I was actually able to visit the owner. She's a British woman who noticed that there were so many distressed donkeys wandering around the island. I really loved visiting the sanctuary, and it was so nice that I was able to contribute to the rescue.

I loved visiting the donkey rescue. The tourist industry can be a bit damaging to the island, and the animals who live on it. A lot of them are suffering because they're working long hours, and the handler's or the tourists mistreat them. It was a great visit, and I would definitely go again on my next trip
