The mayor of a small town in Texas was killed earlier this week when he was apparently attacked by a donkey he kept on his ranch. From Fox 10:

A South Texas mayor has been found dead after apparently being attacked by a 500-pound donkey.

The Atascosa County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday that the death of Hollywood Park Mayor William “Bill” Bohlke appears to be an accident. Bohlke was 65.

Chief Deputy David Soward says Bohlke apparently was attacked Monday morning by a male, aggressive donkey he kept on the ranch. His body was found Monday night during a search by deputies and relatives.

Of all the horrible and weird ways to die, this has to be right up there at the top. Just awful.

    Apparently Occupy has stepped up from terrorizing to outright murder

    I only just came across this, and I’m really surprised. Donkeys are usually friendly if treated right, and it’s even more odd that it was a donkey on his own ranch! Is there any more updates on this, even as to why the donkey was in such an aggressive state? Such a horrible tragedy though, I hope his family is dealing with it okay.

    It’s sad to see a story like this though, I’m a little bit obsessed with donkeys. I donate to my local donkey charity, attend missions for donkeys rights in foreign countries and generally just do whatever I can to ensure their safety.
