However, instead of calming them, Perry would nip at them, according to the Palo Alto donkey pasture.It's unclear how Perry died, but the pasture reported that in his last weeks, he was in pain and suffering from laminitis, an uncurable condition. Additionally, in June 2024, Barron Park reported Perry was facing ailments and sought to fundraise to pay for expenses towards his health. 'In Perry's last weeks, all of the handlers spent many hours at the pasture with him, petting him, cradling him, singing to him, and telling him that he was and always will be loved,' Barron Park Donkeys said
