CAUTION: The contents of this video clip may be sensitive to some viewers.

The left donkey in this video is “Bram”, that was a beloved member of his herd before succumbing to a terrible lung illness. When the herd notices their caretakers moving Bram’s corpse on a sheet, they sense the threatening aura in the air. They let out one of the most harrowing cries as they collectively come running to their dead friend to bid him a final farewell.

The dark brown donkey in this video clip is the leader of the herd that was also Bram’s best friend. The inconsolable guy remains in absolute rejection as he protectively prods his paws around Bram’s neck and bites his belly while begging him to wake up. The bereaved herd’s braying screams of agony also cause their emotional caretakers to burst right into tears.

The distressed donkeys sob also harder when they make sure that Bram is no more of this world. Their mourning ritual as they pay their last respects to him crushed our spirits to no end. Rest in peace, buddy.
