Comment on The term carrot and stick doesn't sit well with me. If you hit a donkey with a stick then it's likely it won't trust you enough to accept a carrot later.

Go ahead, go tame a donkey by hitting it with a stick, see how far that gets you…

IDGAF if you newer people that have never handled such animals have turned it into an ignorant meme, it’s a matter of life or death.

You simply do not hit such large animals with a stick. They will kill you.

Go visit a training farm.
