Two injured donkeys, found with arrows embedded in them in Moreno Valley, have prompted an investigation involving the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and Riverside County Animal Services for urgent veterinary care. While the specific details remain scarce, officials have emphasized the seriousness of harming animals, stressing it as a criminal offense. This incident is not isolated, as similar cases occurred in 2022. The increasing population of wild donkeys poses ecological concerns, prompting local actions for relocation and sterilization to protect endangered plant species.
"We remind the public that harming a donkey - or any animal - is a criminal offense. The safety and welfare of animals in our community is our priority."
"The number of wild burros roaming pine forests and sagebrush fields has grown, and experts worry these animals could overwhelm rare and endangered plant species."
