What should happen to Bonaire’s free-roaming donkeys?

I recently learned about an ongoing debate on Bonaire that I hadn’t heard anything about before.

The island is trying to reduce the impact of free-roaming grazing animals on its vulnerable ecosystem. At the same time, there are concerns that the current approach could eventually mean the disappearance of free-roaming donkeys from Bonaire’s landscape.

A group advocating for the donkeys proposes alternatives including fertility control and designated safe areas where a managed population could continue to roam.

There’s now a petition about it here:

I’m not involved with the organisation — I came across the issue and thought it deserved more attention and discussion.

Especially interested to hear from people who live on Bonaire or know the island: what do you think would be the best way to balance protection of the ecosystem with the welfare and future of the donkeys?
