A donkey ride firm - thought to be Britain's oldest - has hit back at calls to ban them from a seaside resort - saying the animals are happy and well looked after. <br /><br />Campaigners are trying to ban the popular rides - saying the seaside tradition is “outdated and cruel” and wants it to end at Weston-super-Mare after 138 years. <br /><br />But a donkey ride company in the Somerset resort has urged protestors to “come down and talk to us if you’ve got concerns” - and the animals are well cared for.
