Donkeys

The Rendille use donkeys to carry things. When animals are grazing far away the donkeys are usually with the herders and will only make occasional visits into Korr. However, since the rains before Christmas and the better grazing closer to town, there are more donkeys around. I like the look of donkeys - here they are well looked after, and have big, thoughtful eyes. But I don't appreciate the sound of them...day and night you can hear piercing 'eeyore' cries that sound like the donkeys are being slowly slaughtered! Along with the influx of spiders, they are one of the less welcome results of the rain!
