Resumo: In Mexico, the donkey (Equus africanus asinus), has been commercialized as a working animal and tourist resource, and its image has become part of the heritage and collective identity in at least two locations. On the one hand, the zebra-donkey has been painted with stripes to simulate an African zebra and is tied to a cart so that tourists who visit Tijuana are photographed dressed in a Mexican poncho and with a traditional hat to take a souvenir from this city border. At the Donkey Fair in Otumba, donkeys are the protagonists of different shows and sports that reinforce the relationship between humans and animals. This article, elaborated from qualitative methods and techniques, reveals the construction of donkeys as zootouristic resources and the ethical implications of this social construction given the commodification of these non-human animals.
