. Vélez Málaga – Sponsor a Baby Donkey

Los Verdes-Andalucía - the Green Party-Andalucía - have put 5,000 raffle tickets on sale in Vélez Málaga, with first prize going to the person whose ticket bears the same number as the ONCE lottery draw on 27th April 2007.

It is part of their campaign to make the public more aware of the need to care for their environment, and to protect donkeys as a species in danger of extinction.

The first prize is ownership, or sponsorship, of Juan, a six month old baby donkey.

The Greens say Juan ‘is environmentally educated, he is sustainable, does not contribute to the destruction of the ozone layer, he meets the Kyoto protocol, and he doesn’t need any connections to get a decent job.’
