Brings to mind reports from the Middle Ages when animals were put in public stocks and even flogged for incidents like this.

and even flogged for incidents like this.

Donkeys being flogged... monkeys spanked... and chickens, choked.

It's a sick, sick world out there, man. ;)

My horse Ringo likes drinking beer out of my hand. Guess I better be careful.

[calcowgirl]

Donkeys.... them are mean nasty animals!

We think we as a civilization are progressing upward spiritually and ethically, and then we read stories like this. Sad.

Hey, where’s the ‘Naughty Donkey Alert’ on this post? :o

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

I should probably post a picture of the burro in question, so that we’d all have the opportunity to opine “Guilty!” or “Not Guilty!” ;)

[anymouse]

At least they didn’t lock the donkey up for rape. You know about those shows they have in Mexico. ;)

[BossLady]

Yes, was this a hot piece of a$$ or not? :o)

VOTE VOTE VOTE !!!!!!!

Ever see "Clerks 2"...? ;)

Lots of criminal donkeys pay their sentences with public time served. Will the never learn? ;^)

"Around here, if someone commits a crime they are jailed," Gomez said — "no matter who they are." Mexican version of the rule of law, need I comment further?

Bit and kicked? Could have been worse. It’s a good thing it wasn’t the burlesque-show donkey.

[indcons]

A donkey? Obviously a Democrat.

[Fresh Wind]

I’d like to see some American donkeys locked up.

I have a donkey, he likes to sneak up behind you and bite the living $h!+ out of you! I was reaching over the fence one day rubbing his head when he suddenly reached up and bit the back of by arm so bad that even though I was wearing a winter coat, I had blood blisters.
