Aheyoch in Ethiopia

Ethiopia has the second largest population of donkeys in the world behind China. Donkeys are the only source of transportation for many rural Ethiopians who represent 85% of the country's population. But interestingly, Ethiopian donkeys have the shortest life span in the world. People don't have the means to give proper care to this noble and hard working animal. But I guess it is understandable since they need prioritize on who to feed and donkeys will definitely be on the bottom of their list.
