Travellers are cautioned to be aware of French donkeys that are derailing trains
Travellers on French trains between Nîmes and Montpellier and also between Bordeaux and Nice are having their travel plans disrupted by French donkeys.
French donkeys managed to get on the tracks in front of a high-speed French train and cause the French train to derail. In the process of derailment, about 300 meters of track was damaged. Estimates are that it will take at least a day and possibly more to repair the track.
There were no deaths among the passengers on the French train. The donkeys, however, did not survive. Funeral arrangements for the donkeys have not been announced pending blood tests to see if they had elevated levels of testosterone.
According to reports, the donkeys were not terrorists. But some are questioning why these donkeys decided to attack the French train on this particular stretch of track.
