Re: Hey...don't feed the wild burros

Burros or Wild Donkeys they are both good in Salami its how it was invented.Harvest some let them pay the cost for rest same with horses,It's protein.I am an animal lover but also feel the real world rules apply.Tough love etc.Bye the Bye the Burro killer was former Mayor Sam steiger Of Prescott .
