Title: Donkeys help Italian town go green

Donkey collect trash replace garbage trucks

I think this is a cute idea.  Garbage collecting trucks, those modern looking ugly polluters have been replaced by sweet donkeys for collecting trash house to house in Castelbuono, Sicily, in an effort to reduce pollution by heavy vehicles.  And of course, donkeys are a lot cheaper to maintain than trucks because donkeys need food to survive, not oil which is even costlier than food.  Increase of the presence of animals in small towns also gives a cozy medieval look to the environment that I like so much.

How sweet!  donkeys are soooo cute.  this is a good idea to save the environment but I hope they don't overload the poor donkeys.  a common form of cruelty towards donkeys is to make them carry far more weight than they can manage.  this is a gross violation!  and italians are so stupid, one can't trust them one bit.
