I'm normally against cruelty to animals, but the idea of some uniformed Kenyan officer standing on a platform in front of a "Global War On Donkeys" poster, with a map of Somalia with little cut-out donkeys velcroed onto it, waving a swagger stick at a television monitor showing gun camera footage of airplanes going after donkey herds just strikes me as inately hilarious.
Yes, there will be very real consequences for this. It's still hilarious.
Kenya's military spokesman has said large groups of donkeys in Somalia will be considered "al-Shabab activity" following reports the militants are using the animals to transport weapons.
