how cruel is this. a donkey was used as a stunt/advertising to attract people to a private beach
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.
It landed in the water and was pulled onto the shore, said police.
"The donkey screamed and children cried," regional police spokeswoman Larisa Tuchkova told AFP news agency.
"No-one had the brains to call police."
"It was put up so high into the sky that the children on the beach cried and asked their parents: 'Why did they tie a doggy to a parachute?'" Taman newspaper reported last week.
"The donkey landed in an atrocious manner: it was dragged several metres along the water, after which the animal was pulled out half-alive onto the shore," the paper reported.
