Obese tourists are now banned from riding donkeys in Greece


The Greek Ministry of Agriculture prohibits people who weigh more than 100 kilograms riding on donkeys. Animal rights activists had criticized the shocking state of the animals.

In Greece, people who weigh more than 100 kilograms can no longer ride donkeys. This was decided by the Greek Ministry of Agriculture. This is in response to allegations from animal welfare organizations such as "Help the Donkeys of Santorini" and "Sanctuary of Donkeys", which posted shocking images of donkeys with open back injuries.

New law after publication of photos in summer.

In Santorini, in particular, donkeys and mules are used as mounts for tourists. The Greek islands are mountainous, from the sea to the cities they are mostly only accessible by stairs. Traditionally donkeys were used to transport loads. Cruise travelers still ride them today to get to the center and have an "original Greek experience" on vacation, as critics of animal rights activists criticize.

In summer, animal rights activists photographed animal injuries and filed complaints with the ministry. They also published photos that show tourists with excess weight while riding. The animal protectors criticized apart from the great weight load that the donkeys would not get water and would have to wait under the burning sun for the tourists.

The new law says:

"The animals can not be loaded with excessive weight, the load can not exceed 100 kilograms or one fifth of the body weight".

June Corbett Newby of "Help the Donkeys of Santorini" was satisfied with the directive. However, he feared that the directive would not apply because the mule drivers and the police did not care how the animals fared. "On the islands, Greek laws do not apply." He also doubts that donkey riders can weigh tourists in the future before they are allowed to climb an animal. "However, it is important to draw tourists' attention to the fact that they can be prosecuted," said the animal rights activist.
