John Nuttall has been in the donkey rides business for more than 40 years and has been accused of fat-shaming children but he said, 'I have just done it to protect my animals'

Seaside donkey proprietor John Nuttall has sparked debate by insisting children undergo a weight check before being allowed to ride his donkeys in Skegness. The 61-year-old has faced criticism for allegedly fat-shaming youngsters, yet many are applauding his decision.

With over four decades of experience providing donkey rides in Skegness and Cleethorpes, Nuttall has introduced a weight restriction to safeguard his donkeys in the face of increasing concerns about childhood obesity. He’s set up weighing scales adjacent to his mobile paddock, complete with a sign detailing the requirements: under ten years old, shorter than 4ft 6ins, and lighter than six stone (38kg) for a £4 jaunt along the promenade.

    While Limiting weight on a donkey is perfectly reasonable.

    Calling people land whales is fucking pathetic. You have fuck all idea of the medical history of these people. And arseholes like you are why folks like this guy suffer.

    If little shitheads like you, did not spend their time insulting people who have done fuck all to them. The mental health of these people would mean they are less delicate when real life interferes.
