Description
Cripple Creek Donkey
It was so much fun to drive into Cripple Creek, Colorado and see these donkeys roaming the town. I found out that The Two-Mile High Club, a non-profit organization, cares for the Donkeys of Cripple Creek. The funds required to accomplish this including any special feed and medical attention are raised primarily with an annual event: Donkey Derby Days.
I also found out that there is "Donkey Etiquette"
Be respectful. This is a wild herd that chooses to hang out in town. They know they're the stars and have the run of the town. You might ask "Well then, who's in charge?" Answer...the Donkeys.
Don't feed them junk food. A slice of apple or carrot is preferred. When feeding a donkey, HOLD YOUR HAND FLAT. They do not like fingers - it's just hard to tell a finger from a carrot. BE CAREFUL!
Donkeys are friendly and like people. Approach them the same way like you would want to be approached: nice and easy. They don't mind if you want to pet them. Just don't startle donkeys - their natural reaction is to kick.
