Kirislin Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I just saw about the donkey on the news and my first thought was How did it land? They didn't say on the news. Did it break it's legs? ;) The cruelty of some people knows no bounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemymutts Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Donkeys are such beautiful creatures, I cannot watch anything but I can imagine & there are no words to describe people that would do this Does anybody know what actually happened to/with the donkey?

Yes I want to know too. I refuse to watch the video but I want to know if it landed without injury. I hope it's OK now, although as long as it's owned by the arseholes who have it now it's not safe. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 An update on that poor donkey...ABC News http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/07/23/2961829.htm Parasailing donkey unhurt after ordeal Updated 40 minutes ago Beachgoers got a shock when they saw a donkey soaring in blue skies over balmy beaches in Golubitskaya, Russia last week. (AFP/Taman News) Video: Parachuting donkey scares children (ABC News) Related Story: Parachuting donkey terrifies children The Russian donkey who shot to international fame after flying high above the sea in a parasailing stunt has been located and is physically unscathed after her trauma, police say. The donkey ended up in the skies above the Sea of Azov in the south of Russia as a result of an impromptu advertising campaign by several entrepreneurs to attract holidaymakers to their beach, according to police. A veterinarian examined the donkey and found the half-hour flight over heads of beachgoers last week did not inflict any physical damage, said regional spokesman Igor Zhelyabin. "The veterinarian has come to a conclusion that the animal is clinically healthy," he said. The donkey's mental state however remained unclear. Animal rights activists, who condemned the stunt as cruel, have said the animal must have been very distressed by the flight as well as a rough landing on the water. Pictures broadcast on state television showed the donkey taken high into the sky by the stunt, frantically swinging its legs in panic as the speedboat circled around the water. Mr Zhelyabin said a decision on whether to open a criminal animal cruelty case would be made on Friday. The owner of the donkey, who lives in the nearby town of Temryuk, however has told the authorities he does not see anything wrong in forcing his donkey to fly because the beachgoers "were having fun," Mr Zhelyabin said. Dina Goncharova, another local police spokeswoman, said police had confirmed that the donkey was a female. - AFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Thanks Boronia. The poor little thing is probably a jibbering wreck but at least it's physically OK. I hope it can be rescued and the owners charged (and found guilty) of cruelty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
