Bertram man starts donkey rescue effort

BERTRAM — The sores under Burnet's eyes were healing nicely one sunny November afternoon in Bertram. The white donkey stood close by Charles Munro, the man who rescued him one day before Burnet was scheduled to be euthanized.

Munro, a designer for an architectural firm, has just started a nonprofit organization called Texas Donkey Rescue on an acre in Bertram.

Burnet, found wandering on a county road by a Burnet County sheriff's deputy , is one of three donkeys in Munro's small pasture. Munro hopes to rescue several more by persuading people to foster the animals on their land. In the few months since his rescue efforts became public, people have contacted him about 100 donkeys needing help, Munro said.

Texas has the biggest problem with donkey abandonment in the nation, said Mark Meyers, the executive director of Tehachapi, Calif.-based Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue, the largest donkey rescue organization in the U.S. There is no grass for donkeys to eat in Texas because of the drought, he said, and the price of hay has tripled from $75 per ton last year to $260.

Quick question - are the 'old' threads now gone for good or how might I access them? I particularly wanted to respond to
a thread I read here yesterday which has now vanished apparently.
