'Therapy donkeys' soothe stressed-out college students before finals

In our era of safe spaces on college campuses, students have been treated to a bevy of coddling to help soothe their stressed-out psyches — such as eliminating anxiety-inducing book fines, letting students choose their own grades, Play-doh therapy, and even a "Cry Closet" with stuffed animals.

Schools also have drafted real-life animals such as therapy dogs and, believe or not, therapy llamas to calm down these young adults as they purportedly prepare for careers.

So is it any surprise that the State University of New York at Plattsburgh requested therapy donkeys last Wednesday for a wellness fair to help students ahead of finals week?

"These animals work miracles," Ken Besaw of Thera Pets told WCAX-TV. "They do truly miracle work because they can make you feel better if you feel bad."

Indeed many students stopped by to see the therapy donkeys, take selfies, and just de-stress, the station said.

I was trying to think of a "donkey punch" joke, and this gold was sitting right in front of me. Well done

That's a little weird. It's better when they use puppies.

Our colleges have literally become successful at turning young men into pussies. Who the frick are these chicken shite people that need a God damn therapy donkey to take a fricking test?

Used to have to visit Tijuana for a show like that.

See guys? Sometimes being progressive benefits everyone. Then you start feeling bad for the donkey.

I wouldn't figure that would be any different than being around their liberal professors.

Thoroughly fascinating.
