No one likes being hungry and angry, which people commonly refer to as being “hangry.” This is especially true for our animal companions.

Plenty of pet parents have seen dogs and cats get unruly when a meal is delayed, and farm animal companions can be just as spicy when it comes to mealtime tardiness.

Just take Jasper, the donkey, in this video, for instance. He is super hangry and irritable towards his human mom because he feels that she is taking too long to prepare his food. And the way Jasper aired his grievances with her was like something out of a movie!

At first, all was quiet in the barn as Jasper’s human mama prepared his food. However, Jasper got tired of waiting and started knocking on the door, drawing her attention.

But getting her attention simply wasn’t enough for Jasper: he wanted her to know that he was hangry.

Jasper used his snout to force the door open and then stared at her with all the intensity of a horror movie character. He angrily knocked on the door again and stared at her, which gave off a pretty menacing vibe.

But Jasper was not the only angry donkey in this video. One of Jasper’s donkey siblings also poked their head through the door and glared at their human mama as though they wanted to say, “Yo! It’s dinner time – Where’s our food!?”

Although this other donkey went away after their human mama reprimanded their melodramatic behavior, Jasper continued to stand in the doorway and stare at her with burning intensity, braying and continuing to knock on the door with his snout.

It’s like he thought he was Jack Torrance in The Shining, breaking down a bathroom door with an axe and shouting, “Here’s Johnny!” We really hope that Jasper’s poor human mama isn’t named Wendy, LOL.

Later on, Jasper had been fed and was in a much happier mood. He even allowed his human mama to kiss him when they made up after he had eaten dinner.

Jasper Is a Very Dramatic Donkey

As this other video, which you can watch by clicking here, notes, Jasper is never one to shy away from a bit of dramatic flair. Here, he wants to play with his human mama’s bag, but she tells him to leave it alone.

He responds by giving her some serious side-eye and dragging his head across the table in a fashion that perfectly unleashed his inner reality TV star diva, LOL.

Clearly, there is never a dull moment with Jasper around. We guess that he wasn’t just giving his mama the evil eye like a horror movie villain because he was hungry; he may just have a spicy, soap opera personality, no matter what’s going on, LOL.
