Donkeys have a well-deserved reputation for obstinacy, which has been attributed to a far stronger sense of self-preservation than other animals. It is much more difficult to compel or frighten a donkey into performing anything it thinks to be harmful for whatever reason, likely due to a stronger prey drive and a lesser bond with people.
