Egerton University has launched a campaign to popularise donkey meat as fit for human consumption.

Egerton University students slaughter a donkey at the Njoro campus, Nakuru on Thursday
But in a world that is a panorama of socio-cultural tendencies, one man's 'yummy' is often another's 'yuck'.

However, 16 students from the university embarked on a campaign to popularise donkey meat by slaughtering and eating it.

Yesterday, the students from the Department of Animal Sciences led by their lecturer, Dr Jared Ottaro, caused a stir at the institution when they invited fellow students to share in the meal.

"Donkey meat should be encouraged in our diet because its nutrition content is the same as that of beef," Ottaro said.

He said donkeys could be managed easily unlike cattle, which are negatively affected by hostile weather. He said communities should be encouraged to treat the animal in the same way as others instead of treating it as a beast of burden.

After the animal was slaughtered, the students roasted the meat. This attracted hundreds of curious students and other university workers.

Mr Michael Amuge, who roasted the meat and shared it among the students, described it as a 'delicacy'. "
