"Here it's a lesser crime to steal a Mercedes Benz than a donkey."

That's what German Sauza, an accountant and donkey advocate has to say about Otumba, a town in central Mexico that is home to the most donkeys in all of Mexico.

In Otumba, donkeys are an essential part of working life. And every year the town holds a festival to celebrate its donkeys. Thousands of people attend.

Donkey polo, donkey imitations, even naming a Miss ‘Burro’ are all a part of the festivities. But the undisputed highlight is the donkey race. Townspeople train their donkeys for months to make sure they hit the track in peak condition along with the young boys who serve as jockeys. It’s a fiercely contested ride. And like at this year's race, sore losers and heated scenes at the end of the race are not uncommon.

“What would the world be without donkeys?”
