Villagers in the Kenyan town of Limuru are angry over an order from the council that their donkeys must henceforth wear nappies, in an attempt to keep the streets clean.
I was contemplating what it must be like to live in a society that was dependent on donkeys instead of on tractors or motorised transport and I was thinking how a matter that is very serious to the villagers in Kenya (or Iraq) would be laughable here in the UK. I was wrong.
It turns out that Great Yarmouth council tried to force nappies onto the horses that take tourists for rides along the seafront. The owners were having none of it and in a court case the magistrates ruled against the council.
The donkey owners of Limuru should talk to the lawyers of Great Yarmouth.
