There was a rare sighting on San Diego County roads over the weekend as 11 donkeys were found galloping loose around Vista on Sunday afternoon after escaping from their nearby ranch.
The San Diego Humane Society’s Humane Law Enforcement team received a call around 2:30 p.m. Sunday from the Sheriff’s Department requesting assistance with a situation near the intersection of Business Park Drive and Sycamore Avenue.
Upon arrival, Humane Society officers worked alongside sheriff’s deputies to safely wrangle and corral the donkeys into a parking lot of a vacant building, where they were later reunited with their owners.
Humane officers will be following up this week to assess how the escape occurred, as it remains unclear how the donkeys escaped from the ranch.
