A donkey used by protestors to deliver a petition with 100,000 signatures asking Gov. Rick Perry to stop Texas Parks and Wildlife from hunting wild burros in Big Bend Ranch State Park is seen at the capitol, Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2012, in Austin, Texas. The state agency considers the 300 wild donkeys that live in the park to be a destructive invader, but the Wild Burro Protection League considers the burros a heritage species because it played such an important role in human settlement of the area.
