where do they think of these stupid things who would want to see this.
Russians. Nuff said? They were doing it to lure people to their private beach. They'd lure me... with a shot gun.

They are now being investigated for animal cruelty and face up to 2yrs in jail. I hope over there they actually stick to their animal cruelty laws and put these assholes in jail where they belong. The whole thing is on video tape, they can't deny anything.

The Donkey Shelter UK released the following statement:

"We are absolutely shocked and appalled to learn that a donkey was made to parasail over a beach resort in Russia last week as part of an advertising publicity stunt.

The donkey was strapped to the parasail and catapulted into the sky and would have been severely distressed, fearful and traumatised during the 30-minute flight. Donkeys are sensitive creatures and prone to suffer with a fatal condition called hyperlipaemia (a stress-related illness); we therefore have serious concerns over the present health of this donkey.

This is the most senseless cruelty case we have ever seen in over 40 years of operation and we are truly shocked that anybody could treat a donkey in this way. The suffering endured by this poor animal is totally unacceptable and we hope that justice is brought to the individuals responsible for this mindless act of cruelty."

If you are able, please also write a letter to your local embassy asking that this matter be fully investigated including the use of a reward, that maximum penalties be applied to all involved, and every effort made to located the donkey, confiscate it and get it to sanctuary:

I watched it and didn't realize until the end that they were showing footage of the donkey being sent up.
I foolishly assumed that that was the footage of the beach goers saving the donkey from the water.
