Afew things would make me visit Makueni county again. Not because the governor is a professor, or Wote town roads are all tarmack, or because no charcoal burning, super fruits farms or excellent animal feeds preservation but rather to see how that county looks at her residents

Chicken is one the most prefered meat in Kenya. Who will help me pass this message to Kenyans that transporting chicken like this is BAD WELFARE and needs to stop
A working donkey requires their hooves to be regulary checked, trimmed and balanced for them to work with ease
To some people it is just a "donkey", To me it is my full time employment that puts food on the table and supports my family.
It is very difficult to separate high demand of donkey skin in China, four donkey slaughterhouses and poor donkey welfare currently witnessed along Kenyan roads #bandonkeyskintrade

I wish I could tweet 1000 times to ask @DCI_Kenya
@ODPP_KE
@CS_Kiunjuri
Why donkey slaughterhouses continue to operate and export donkey skin while Kenya has NO donkey carcass inspection codes, S/houses have not produced a foal from their farms for 5yrs #BanDonkeySkinTrade
CVO Tanzania nails it down #BanDonkeySkinTrade it is not about the law, it requires political goodwill therefore we ask @CS_Kiunjuri
@FredMatiangi
To #BanDonkeySkinTrade for #DonkeysBetterAlive
What a powerful question.........where is the government of Kenya as other Chief veterinary officers from the region discuss #DonkeysBetterAlive?
The four donkey slaughterhouses in Kenya have not met minimum operating condition. They have not produced a single foal in 4 years of their operation #DonkeysBetterAlive
