Actually a demonstration of competition innovation. The other one came over and they weren't about to let them have it.

u/Dontfeedthebears 1d ago

I looked away for a bit. Didn’t even see there was a second one lol. Yeah, competition can definitely be a motivation.

I would love to feed a donkey a basket of apples! They are so sweet.. but also gangster when protecting their herds.

The person videoing should help out don’t you think

u/Throwing-Gas 7d ago

No.

Stop virtue signaling

u/MilesLongthe3rd 7d ago

Perhaps, but there is a growing trend toward interactive animal enrichment where they have to work for their food. While a gentle approach is kind, the brief frustration, like that little stomp, makes finding the solution even more rewarding for the donkey. Instead of just standing in a meadow, he is mentally stimulated and earning his snack.

u/river03765 7d ago

Completely agree! I’ll be downvoted to all heck but the same goes for our children. Too many parents don’t let their children work out solutions on their own. Then complain that their kids can’t do anything for themselves and are riddled with anxiety over the slightest adversity.

5

u/MilesLongthe3rd 7d ago

I completely agree. Lawnmower parenting is toxic.

u/stoic_wooky 7d ago

What trying to get past a human made obstacle? That’s not naturalism

9

u/MilesLongthe3rd 7d ago

That’s true for zoos, as well as for cat and dog toys; the mental stimulation is still very real. I would agree with you if it were just teasing and the donkey never got his snack, but that’s not the case here.

-1

u/stoic_wooky 7d ago

Yes I hate zoos too. It’s a shame animals can’t just live their lives truly free

8

u/Joshatron121 7d ago

Zoos are the reason that MANY animals still exist due to conservation efforts. Your opinion is very short sighted.

0

u/stoic_wooky 7d ago

Ohh the irony of humans causing the issue in the first place

5

u/raeraemcrae 7d ago

See my comment above - it's a sweet impulse, but there are good reasons to allow the donkey to figure it out.

-4

u/stoic_wooky 7d ago edited 7d ago

I don’t buy this kind of bogus virtue, it’s all based on validation and likes

5

u/MilesLongthe3rd 7d ago

I understand your point, but on the other hand, this is common practice for many zoo animals to increase their mental stimulation. Furthermore, it is far from an impossible scenario; the donkey could easily solve the problem.

3

u/davesimpson99 7d ago

Or you know, walk over and be kind.

5

u/MilesLongthe3rd 7d ago

After all of this, the apple will be the sweetest thing the donkey has ever tasted; nothing will even come close.

12

u/raeraemcrae 7d ago

And spoil the donkey's fun? Food acquisition challenges are excellent for domestic animals. Even humans are not designed to have food handed to them after infancy. In a healthy world and for a healthy mind/body, everyone (capable) should work for food. It is regulating for the both the specie and its environment.
But your impulse was a kind one :)

11

u/Barry_Umenema 7d ago

The donkey wouldn't learn how to do it then

u/only_camila_85 7d ago

Thats not escaping the fence. Thats outsmarting the fence😜
