Animal lovers around the world were stunned this week by footage of a parasailing donkey in Southern Russia.
This reminds me of some American college students who put a parachute on a hamster, and dropped it from a dormitory window. Not exactly the nicest way to treat an animal. Oh, this story was in a local Washington newspaper too, and credited to RT News (Russia Today). Yet the newspaper called RT " Kremlin RT News channel". Let's be kinder to animals, as God has given us the duty to protect them.
PR101, It is pretty strange definition of cruelty you have. From my take, even if the owner would fly together with the donkey, I would still consider this as an act of cruelty. But, making defenseless donkey hanging on the ropes is sickening me. I definitely want this guy being punished. And the severity should be such that all others in Russia would not have any desire to repeat his "commercial success". I am wondering, if he would do the same with his kids? When I think about it, I sadly realize, that Russia is, probably, the only country where such thing may happen and the gangster would go away without having any problems. By the way, PR101, unlike you, this act alone wipes out any my desire to visit that place. The place where brain-damaged people live.
A camel, horse and a donkey at a in Russia’s blacksea resort. This image alone makes me want to go there if I could at this very moment. Of course, the owner’s action was wrong but it is also clear he is not cruel person but was carried away by spirit the of enterprising.
