Police in southern Russia are investigating allegations of animal cruelty after a donkey was made to parasail as part of an advertising stunt, Russian media report.
The donkey was sent up into the sky last week by entrepreneurs hoping to attract people to their private beach.

That’s the first thing I thought of. That has to be one of the most famous lines in the history of television.
Just saw this on TV. They said the donkey was in the air for over a half hour and was pulled out of the water barely alive. Charges are pending against the purps.

Not sure how to react to this. The reporting seems semi-hysterical. And I have witnessed human beings subject themselves to identical abuse and get pulled from the water “barely alive,” in the universe of hyperbole.
Hucksters in Tijuana are caught flat-footed. “Donkeys are for f***ing, not flying, si?”
Yeah I want see more before I call animal cruelty
Definitely a WTF? moment though.
Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, rode on a donkey. Jesus Christ rode on a donkey. Donkeys are sweet adorable little animals. This “stunt” was cruel beyond words. Poor little thing. I read that it was screaming. This is not funny at all!!! Whoever did that to this poor little defenseless innocent animal should be made to pay a hefty price!!!
the video was just a few seconds long and I did not hear any screaming
“I did not hear any screaming”
Silent scream - the poor thing was too high up for anyone but God to hear its screams. And by the time the poor thing made it to the ground it was probably in shock and horror and unable to scream anymore.
I read some funny one-liners on the youtube video but yours gets the prize. LOL
The video is definitely disturbing and making a donkey parasail is cruel. The donkey was not screaming, it was braying in fright. I doubt it was pulled from the sea “barely alive” though.
Every time I think I’ve seen it all, youtube proves me wrong.
Ditto, still I LOL'd and went WTF? when I saw this
“Ditto, still I LOL’d and went WTF? when I saw this”
Me, too. I’ve been trying not to laugh but the comments are so dang funny.
And letting them vote can be deadly.
