Seaside donkey owner weighing kids before they ride (www.walesonline.co.uk)

Seaside donkey proprietor John Nuttall has sparked debate by insisting children undergo a weight check before being allowed to ride his donkeys in Skegness. The 61-year-old has faced criticism for allegedly fat-shaming youngsters, yet many are applauding his decision.

With over four decades of experience providing donkey rides in Skegness and Cleethorpes, Nuttall has introduced a weight restriction to safeguard his donkeys in the face of increasing concerns about childhood obesity. He's set up weighing scales adjacent to his mobile paddock, complete with a sign detailing the requirements: under ten years old, shorter than 4ft 6ins, and lighter than six stone (38kg) for a £4 jaunt along the promenade.

If a parent insists on hurting a donkey simply because their kid throws a wobbly, it doesn't matter the reason for their obesity, they're still cunts

So are donkeys mind you.

I'd agree with the guy in the article who has to put up with both types of cunt, day in, day out lol

I never said they deserve to hurt an animal. Just that disappointment is understandable and there's no need to bully them.
