Rare Wild Cyprus Donkey Threatened - Campaigners

Rare Wild Cyprus Donkey Threatened - Campaigners CYPRUS: April 3, 2008 NICOSIA - Conservationists who found 10 wild donkeys shot dead in northern Cyprus said on Wednesday the rare breed could disappear entirely if hunters continued to shoot them for sport. Environmentalists in the Karpas region believe many more of the brown donkeys had been killed since a 2003 study counted some 800 living in the wild.
