I was so upset by this story about a parasailing Russian donkey that I got agitated and forgot to post it yesterday.
The article is woefully light on details of the donkey's present whereabouts and well-being.
Those fucking Russians. First with the dancing bears and now with this... Ima hafta slap some bitches.
Oh that's awful!! (unless the donkey liked it, then Wheeeeeee!)
I think I'll skip the article, I'm trying to iron out the fuckeries of the day as it is.

"in care"? In psychiatric care, no doubt.
If an animal doesn't understand, the odds are it won't like it. Were they able to explain the concept of parasailing to that poor donkey?

I saw this on the news earlier this week and immediately thought of you, sixbucks. I was HORRIFIED; I actually had nightmares about it. Cranky: don't look at the video, it's awful, you cab clearly see how distressed the poor donkey was. I read that the donkey gave rides to children and was beloved by the beachgoers; apparently little kids burst into tears when they saw what was being done to it. I also read that the donkey's owner has disappeared with the donkey, but that the parasail operator is being investigated for animal cruelty by police. Gotta love the quote from the cops: "everyone was taking pictures with their cellphones but nobody had the brains to call us". Also, the parasail dude is blaming the donkey dude: "he just told me to hitch up the donkey, he said it would be fine." WTF is wrong with people?

UGH!!!! Poor donkeh! What a horrible, thoughtless act. And the police quote is sadly right on.
I don't understand the elements of society who see such callous abuse as entertainment.

I don't want to consider the details & reality of the situation because so long as I don't, that picture is funny.
