Funny you mention the spotted owl - the specific donkeys being slaughtered are much more endangered than the spotted owl.
So that's the problem.

That is simply not the case. If you're taking about the African Wild Ass then they live on the other end of the continent, around Ethiopia. There is also only around 570 of them, whereas the article is talking about trade of millions of donkey skins. So this doesn't appear to have anything to do with trade in endangered animals.

You'd think that would be mentioned in the article.
