It looks like the biennial Donkey and Mule Conference, usually held on the Greek island of Hydra, will take place in London this year, appropriately enough during International Donkey Week in May. So Prof. William Gervase Clarence-Smith of the School of Oriental and African Studies and Ed Emery, the conference organizer, inform DAD-Net anyway. I coudn’t find a website, but the last livestock-themed SOSA conference even had a Facebook page, so there must be one in the offing.
Here’s a nice story in Hana Hou magazine about the “Kona Nightingale” donkeys on the Big Island of Hawaii.
