You may have heard a funny story recently — that donkey meat came from Islamabad, and people started laughing and making jokes.
But wait… do you know something surprising?
That animal people make fun of — the donkey — is actually very expensive and very useful.
🐴 Donkeys Are Worth A Lot in Pakistan!
Yes, really! In Pakistan, a donkey used to cost around 50,000 rupees. But now?
Now a single donkey can cost between 1.5 million and 2 million rupees!
Crazy, right?
But why is it so expensive?
Let me explain it simply.
🥛 Donkey Milk = The Most Expensive Thing in the World
There’s something super special made from donkey milk, and it doesn’t come from Pakistan. It comes from Serbia, a country far away.
They make a kind of very rare and expensive cheese using donkey milk.
Here’s the fun math:
- It takes 25 liters of donkey milk to make 1 kilogram of this cheese.
- That 1 kilogram of cheese is sold for about \$1,000 (almost Rs. 3 million in Pakistan!)
- Even just half a kilogram can cost the same!
This cheese is called “Pule Cheese”, and it’s known as the most expensive cheese in the world.
So yes — that same donkey people laugh about? It gives milk that turns into cheese richer than gold!
🇨🇳 Why China Buys Millions of Donkeys
Every year, China buys around 2 million donkeys from countries like Pakistan.
Why?
Because the skin of the donkey is used to make something very special in Chinese culture — a traditional medicine.
This medicine is called Ejiao, and it’s made from the gelatin inside donkey skin.
People in China believe it helps keep them young, healthy, and strong. That’s why you often see many Chinese people looking fresh and wrinkle-free, even when they get older.
And guess what?
This medicine is used by everyone in their homes — kids, adults, even old people!
🌟 Donkey Skin: Not a Joke, But Anti-Aging Power!
So next time you hear someone joking about donkey meat or making fun of donkeys, just smile and remember:
That animal is not ordinary. It’s a hidden treasure.
- Its milk makes the world’s most expensive cheese.
- Its skin is used to make powerful anti-aging medicine.
- And its value is rising more and more every year.
🐴 Final Thought
We often laugh at what we don’t understand. But now you know:
The humble donkey isn’t silly or useless. It’s actually one of the most valuable animals in the world!
So maybe next time someone mentions donkey meat, you’ll remember:
That “ass” isn’t ordinary —
It’s worth millions.
