Last but not least, my last post here is going to talk about the ever so comical animal, the Portuguese donkey.
Although Portugal is a country containing a myriad of different species of donkey, many unique to this country, most, if not all, are endangered of extinction.

Well, why has this so common beast vanished from our lands?

Well, some say it migrated from our lands and into our schools, our government, taken over our economy, and tried on multiple occasions to conquer our fair and just land.

Sarcasm apart, which that obviously was, the real reason for this poor creature’s destruction is one simple fact:
-Evolution.

We humans have evolved past the point of using animals for labour long ago, and even though that is generally a good thing, that was also the only thing keeping the donkey from being released on the wild, where it has no chance of surviving.

Machines have replaced this stubborn animal in most if not all its functions, and only the poorest and less advanced farmers still use it for agriculture.

With no use for it, farmers would not have kept it around their farms, halting their growth.
With an uncertain future, do you think it will manage to survive for long?

This one animal had evolved around the fact that we needed it and would raise it for our farming, forging somewhat of a relationship between our two species, and since the ancient times when men first found agriculture, to the Industrial revolution, we used it.

What is going to happen to this poor animal now?
Many donkeys were released in the wild, and lacking the wild instincts, don’t manage to survive.
