I WAS sorry to see that Molly, Judy and Peggy, the Nafferton pet donkeys, owned by Polly and David Stead, were to be sold off and would lose their home (Evening Press, May 19).

Couldn't they be bought by City of York Council, re-stabled and trained as part of the Park and Donkey Ride scheme, for Royal Ascot at York Week?
