This seems like a very limited subject, without any mention of the more common use meaning 'Donkey' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.66.192.62 ( talk) 05:42, 5 December 2005
Seeing as now little has been done to expand this article, I believe it is suitable to re-merge back into the donkey article. I recommend that discussion of the merge be consolidated at Talk:Donkey. Montanabw (talk) 19:34, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
An edit summary reads "Dubious, hell, it's complete hogwash", and accompanies the removal from the article of the phrase "many of whom were themselves of Mexican origin" which qualified "the burro was the beast of burden of choice of early prospectors". Well, hogwash it may be, IDK. But this is Wikipedia, where we go by the sources, and pay scant attention to the personal opinions of editors, some of whom express those personal opinions, however ill-informed, with monotonous regularity. The phrase in question is sourced to a book by Sandra L. Olsen. It's called Horses through time and was published for the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. It is cited at length by the International Museum of the Horse. Olsen writes "Many of the prospectors were Mexican and the burro was their preferred pack animal". If this is hogwash, please adduce a number of reliable sources that state an opposing view. If those are not forthcoming, I suggest that an apology to Ms Olsen might be in order?

The table listing burro populations in various states does not appear to have a source nor is there any indication of a date. Surely actual populations vary from year to year and these figures are only estimates of the actual population, as I imagine that is is next to impossible to be sure every burro in existence at any point in time has been actually counted.
