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.
Mate, if you think running donkey rides is the same as owning slaves then you really need to rethink your world view a bit. I’m all for reducing animal cruelty but I don’t think this argument is helping.
Yeah, he also didn’t buy the donkey high quality equipment right? Have you ever heard of an hyperbole?
