Aggression towards other animals
While donkeys can be protective of their territory and the animals they consider part of their herd, they can also be aggressive towards unfamiliar animals. This aggression can pose a problem if the donkey comes into contact with livestock or companion animals that it perceives as a threat, potentially leading to injuries or death. Donkeys may not have the same level of control or ability to assess the level of threat as guardian dogs, which could pose risks to both the donkeys themselves and the livestock they are supposed to protect.
Donkeys will often target calves and harass them and keep them away from the cows (which the donkeys may be trying to protect from the “intruding” calves). This can lead to the calves inability to nurse. In many cases, the donkeys escalate to aggressive behavior and end up hurting or even killing calves. Donkeys will do the same with goats or sheep but it’s not limited to the kids or lambs. We get rescue calls all the time asking us to pick up donkeys that “did more damage to the livestock in one season than all the predators combined over all the years”.
