In Kenya, donkeys are important animals that support the livelihoods of donkey-owning communities. Using the gesture of the same legal notice, the Government of Kenya licensed commercial donkey slaughter for export purposes. The illegal bush slaughter for the skins led to the notable sale of donkey meat disguised as beef or other meat. The skins of donkeys slaughtered in the bush were also sold to middlemen in the donkey skin trade. In conclusion, Kenya should protect its citizens from the profound negative effects of businesses such as the donkey hide trade.
