November 19, 2010 – WAIKOLOA, Hawaii
Video by David Corrigan | Voice of Karin Stanton
It was a hero’s welcome for Dr. Brady Bergin on Wednesday night, the moment he set foot into the Waikoloa Community Church meeting room.
The community had gathered to discuss the swelling Waikoloa Donkey herd that lives in the dryland areas surrounding the village. Reports that the donkeys were invading private property and the nearby school had the residents on edge.
Dr. Bergin, a veterinarian from Waimea’s “Aina Hou Vet Hospital”, is volunteering his time and skill, along with Inga Gibson of the Humane Society of the United States and Anika Glass of Malama Waikoloa Nightingales. Bergin has been rounding up some of the animals recently and humanely castrating the males.
Gibson, Glass and Bergin hope to compassionately and effectively manage these animals, and avoid eradication.
The Waikoloa Village Association recently announced it would no longer assist with the donkey issue, for reasons of liability. The state DLNR has also declined to help.

Loved the article…..t’would love to have one of these adorable creatures, having had a mare in my lifetime and still miss her, BUT….somehow or t’other, my landlord frowns deeply to having one on our lanai….:-0)….be that as it may, I do have a question…….if memory serves me……isn’t this the same kind of donkey that Mary was riding before the birth of Jesus? The markings are so distinct!!!!! Since (1) I live on Oahu, and (2) I am among the many “seniors” if you will, being 85 yrs. young, I cannot be of much help (except financial), and at this particular time I cannot even do that…….BUT……I do so enjoy articles of this sort coming my way…….so to speak……”makes my day” and not Clint Eastwood’s….TEE! HEE!…..
Happy Trails To All!!!!!!

We teach our burros to drive. Carriage driving is a wonderful way to spend time together. We have trained many donkeys on the main land to drive through donkey driving clinics. They also make great mounts for children. Donkeys are not as spooky as horses.
