Mansfield, MASS. — A donkey that used to be featured in the Lasalette Shrine’s Christmas display is now back at his farm after a petition called for the donkey to be removed from the popular attraction.

The petition posted on the site Change.org called for “Clopper” the donkey to be returned to his Mansfield farm because domesticated donkeys are more susceptible to extreme weather.

As of Tuesday, over 1,200 signatures were on the petition.
