    A man tries to control a heavily loaded cart of corn plants, used as animal feed, after it lifted his donkey in Lahore, Pakistna, on July 11.

    Overloaded donkey goes airborne under heavy load

    By Jonathan Woods, msnbc.com

    At what point do you decide to not burden an animal like this and make two trips?

    The last time I spotted a picture like this was in December, in the same city. How often are animals in Lahore treated like this?

    Hay flies through the air as Al and A.J. Blain, of Billings Flying Service, use a helicopter to haul hay to horses on the former Leachman Cattle Company ranch east of Billings on Thursday, Jan. 27, 2011. The Billings Gazette reports that the Northern International Livestock Exposition had collected $10,000 in cash donations and about 250 tons of hay by Thursday. Five dead horses have been found on the ranch. A Montana veterinarian had warned that others would start dying off in droves if they did not receive food soon. The horses belong to James H. Leachman, who has filed for bankruptcy. Leachman is scheduled to appear Friday on multiple charges of animal cruelty.

    They show somed young horses with the yellow leg bands that died from the circulation being cut off and there are more that will soon have the same fate if they do not get the leg bands off.

    I have lived in or extensively visited Indonesia, China, Palestine and Thailand. I have never understood why people who depend on animal labor for their living treat those animals so poorly.
