That's not an accident. They have been selectively bred to both enjoy working and be good at it. (Which you probably already know).

That said, I don't have an ethical problem with using animals to work (or to eat for that matter). I also don't have a problem with these hybrids if there is a useful purpose to it (beyond the "here's a monkey with four asses", "let's do it because we can" purpose).
