Yes, we have no donkeys!
Why do we still have those "Donkey Crossing" signs near the Four Seasons/Kona Village intersection? The donkeys are gone, allegedly removed to greener pastures (Donkey Heaven?) by Ka'upulehu Developments, the developer of the Four seasons extensions. The donkeys supposedly were too damaging to the golf courses and had to go. Maybe they were damaging the golf courses, but they'd survived out on the lava for years and years. Regardless, they're gone gone gone. The area is now 100% donkey-free. They've been successfully eradicated. Progress.
OK, but why are the signs still there?
A cynic would say it's because the tourists think they're cool. They do, they take pictures of the signs, but... Pssst! ...it's still a fraud. As a public service announcement, I offer the following:
ATTENTION ALL TOURISTS: THERE ARE NO DONKEYS ANYWHERE NEAR THE DONKEY CROSSING SIGNS!!!
Thank you very much.

I just returned from a week at the Four Seasons. They still promote that wild donkeys can be seen occasionally locally. I finally did locate them; at the rear of Kona Village by the golf course in a fenced-in area of lava where a herd of 6 or 7 beautiful "wild" donkeys are living their lives. Very sad indeed. I hope that somehow they can and will be returned to "greener pastures" very soon.
