Just recently there was the news that Germany is taking in a whole bunch of donkeys from Gaza, and apparently even PETA (ever concerned about all life) made a post about the suffering of donkeys in Gaza and apparently were trying to get people to help in having them evacuated.

I began to dwell on a thought recently: are GAZANS trying to evacuate those donkeys? I recall that Gazans actually during this genocide have been hugely appreciative of the help that donkeys have been, even to the point of having a celebration in their honor; are donkeys being taken from Gaza BECAUSE they're of so much help to Gazans? I'm sure there's a large amount of other animals in Gaza such as cats that would also need help or evacuation, and yet the evacuation is of donkeys, an animal that has actually been of help to the people there.

I'm probably being paranoid, but I've certainly seen nothing from Gazans to indicate that they're trying to evacuate them, and certainly no other animals such as cats are being evacuated, so why donkeys?

Germans will literally care more about saving the life of a random farm animal than they will a brown person.
