Firefighters rescue donkey that got hoof stuck in kettle
Why the long face?
A donkey was left with a long face after getting its hoof stuck in a kettle.
The animal, named Daniel, stepped into the pot on Thursday April 23 and when he couldn’t get out his owner called the emergency services.
Firefighters from Whitby were able to remove the kettle using a pair of pliers and Daniel was free to live his life as usual.
A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said: ‘Our Whitby crew attended an incident that involved a donkey named Daniel who had inadvertently stood on a kettle, getting it stuck on his foot.
‘Crews used pliers to remove the kettle, allowing Daniel the donkey to go on with his day.’
It is believed the crew managed to release the kettle without any injury to Daniel, who ‘trotted off happily with the rest of his drove/herd’.
It was not clear how Daniel ended up with his foot trapped in the kettle to begin with.
He probably did so ass-identally. (Sorry.)
