Something to reflect on in Namibia

Washington Times:

Donkeys in Namibia are going to receive a special Easter treat. About 500 of them will have yellow reflectors attached to their ears to cut down on the high incidence of car crashes involving donkeys sleeping on the roads at night.
The donkeys, which play a fundamental role in the lives of Namibian families, are responsible for about one-quarter of all traffic accidents in the country, according to the organization Donkey Welfare of Namibia (donkeywelfare.com), founded by two Britons last year.
The animals' sleeping habits are largely to blame, said Peter Collingwood, a retired advertising agent and a co-founder of the group.
"Donkeys like to lie down on the road at night because the tarmac is warmer than the earth around them," Mr. Collingwood said, but they are the same color as the road and often fail to wake up when a car approaches.
Donkey Welfare Namibia has developed the yellow ear tags to reflect the headlights of coming vehicles, which will help drivers spot and avoid the donkeys at night.

If you can't get the jackasses off the road, I guess you have to avoid them.
