Netherland donkeys share their grief for a lost friend.




After living a sad life of neglect and loneliness outside in all weathers, Bram the donkey was moved to a sanctuary in the Netherlands.  His health was suffering but he lived the last year and a half happily.

He and the other donkeys bonded immediately.   Although he received a lot of love, and needed medical health care, he never fully recovered.  He passed away recently.


The video shows his donkey friends paying their final respects. It is a sad time.  Grieving the loss of one of their members is common for donkeys, according to a sanctuary worker.  They make a particular noise when one of their friends dies.
They really do mourn, and is is said one occasionally dies from grief.
RIP Bram.
