Largest donkey sanctuary

The world's largest donkey sanctuary is the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary in Devon, UK, officially known simply as The Donkey Sanctuary. Founded in 1969 by the late Elisabeth Svendsen MBE, it currently owns eight farms in the UK, and has cared for over 13,500 donkeys in the UK and Ireland since it opened. It also oversees sanctuaries, foster homes and holding bays for donkeys in seven other European countries, as well as conducting international operations in Africa, Asia and Mexico.
