Parasailing donkey prompts cruelty probe

Authorities in Russia are opening an animal cruelty probe into a weekend stunt on a beach in southern Russia in which a donkey parasailed high over the surf.

Amateur video footage showed men attaching a parasail harness to the trembling mule.

The English-language Kremlin news channel Russia Today reported that sunbathers were distressed at the sight of the flying donkey, which brayed in fear as it glided above the bay for half an hour.

Russia Today reported the donkey was shell-shocked but survived.

Reports said the donkey flight was a promotional stunt.

Employees of a leisure firm in the village of Golubitskaya on the Azov Sea could face two years in prison if they are charged and convicted of animal cruelty.

F'n cruel bastards. I hope they get the 2 years in jail and then some.
I feel the same about people who take their dogs skydiving. The animal has no idea what is going on and has no choice in the matter.

I know you're only having a laugh and I'm not directing this at you Mav... I'm just adding to my argument:

Dogs can swim and will do so if they desire, but I don't see too many dogs jumping off cliffs because they feel like flying.

(in your case Mav, your dog could jump ship (or try to, if it was tied to the yak) and swim to safety if it didn't want to be there, but that poor donkey had no way out if it didn't want to be there. And it obviously didn't by it's screams)
