'HOA tries to get a restraining order against my donkey': HOA sues resident on grounds that his emotional support donkey is decreasing the property value

"That'll do, donkey. That'll do." Those immortal words spoken by Shrek captured the memorable bond between those two fictional characters, a bond that this homeowner shared with his own emotional support animal, also a loving and loyal donkey. 

Unfortunately for this Redditor, his neighborhood's makeshift homeowner's association started to take issue with any little thing that could earn them more money, and eventually, the dude's donkey was next on the list of unfortunate victims. The "wannabe HOA," as the Original Poster (OP) liked to refer to them,  argued that the presence of the emotional support animal and the incessant braying was contributing to bringing down the property value and was harming the attractiveness of the neighborhood as a whole. Now, OP calculated his donkey's daily braying for his defense and it was quite clear that the HOA was highly exaggerating. Can this man just enjoy his donkey in peace?
