Nativity Donkey Dies After Being Sat On In Spanish Christmas Fair Police in Andalucia have opened an investigation after a five-month-old donkey died two days after being sat on by a large man
Police are investigating the animal's death after this photo was posted on social media By Harriet Alexander 16 Dec 2014
Animal lovers in Spain have reacted with fury after a young donkey, held in a pen as part of a Nativity scene, died after being sat on. The donkey, named Platero, was being held in the town of Lucena, in the Cordoba province, as part of their annual Christmas celebrations.
He was being held with other animals in the Nativity - and were not supposed to be touched by the public.
But on December 10 a man climbed over the fence and, in a photo widely shared on social media, sat on the small animal's back.
Two days later the donkey was unable to stand, and was taken to the vet's where had to be put down.

poor donkey
stupid fat man
What an ass.
now who is the ass, eh?
why does everybody feel the need to do stupid stuff, take a picture and then post it on social media?
Do they not realize they are making themselves out to be idiots?
Michael Moore strikes again!
Sad outcome. That looked to be either a very young Donkey or one built to stay small. Some Donkeys and Horses as well, are not used to having people plop their weight down onto their spines. This guy was trespassing anyway, and used the animal as though it were a Rodeo Seat in the corner bar. That’s not a toy. Poor thing.
5 months old, definitely too young for someone to ride, even if it was a rideable breed.
Dominic the Christmas donkey?
Donkey Otay?
Just a Foal at five months, barely even weaned.
Senor Gordo may have be mixing Cerveza with his breakfast juice again.
Oh Dear! Oh Dear!
That’s one of those very annoying songs that stick in my head for hours.
That really is awful, the poor creature.
Why are people so stupid?
A Vogon?
The donkey couldn’t breathe...
Hoofs up, can’t breathe...
Typical Spaniard...sitting on his ass.
In this case.. sitting on his DEAD ass
