Donkeys forced to fight for the enjoyment of the kiddies and adults.
Well, he was ‘ass-king’ for it: Boy who forced donkeys to fight goes bottoms up
By Mail Foreign Service
Last updated at 5:14 PM on 16th April 2009Rearing up on their hind legs, these donkeys have been cruelly forced to fight one another for entertainment.
But, as these images show, the young Afghan boy who pitted them against one another soon received his just punishment.
Losing his grip on his donkey’s back, the boy falls hard to the ground.
In fact he does not appear to have fallen all that hard. Too bad he didn’t land on his head. Now that would have pleased me.
These are poor dumb animals and pretty helpless ones at that. This article says a lot about that culture. Look at the faces of these kids.
They are absolutely enjoying the grief these dumb beasts are being put through. So ok. I just happen to like animals. No, don’t want a donk for a pet or anything. And don’t much care for them but I surely wouldn’t go out of my way to hurt one. Come to think about it, I wish the Dems would drop the donkey symbol as it does those poor things a disservice. The Donkeys, not the Democrats.
The unnamed boy forced the animals into a fight outside the German armed forces Bundeswehr camp in Kunduz, northern Afghanistan, today.
Donkey-fighting is not particularly common in Afghanistan - a country far better known for dog-fighting.
However in a country that loves to fight, anything goes - and fights featuring cocks, camels and goats are also all common sights.
The Taliban outlawed dog-fighting, believing it was un-Islamic.
But since the U.S. invasion and the Taliban’s fall, the grim sport has been making a comeback - especially in the capital of Kabul.
Now competitions are held twice a week there, drawing thousands of male spectators. Winning purses have been known to reach up to $50,000.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
