The Donkey Sanctuary published its first Under the Skin report in 2017. An update of the report was subsequently published in November 2019.
We would like to offer sincere thanks to our network of friends, partners and colleagues around the world who contributed information to this report and who champion donkey welfare every day.
The sensitive nature of their information means we have anonymised some contributions to this report but this does not belie their valued contributions. We will continue to support and work together with partners to tackle donkey welfare challenges worldwide.
