"MOSCOW — Authorities in Russia are opening an animal cruelty probe into a weekend stunt on a beach in southern Russia in which a donkey parasailed high over the surf. Amateur video footage showed men attaching a parasail harness to the trembling mule. The English-language Kremlin news channel Russia Today reported that sunbathers were distressed at the sight of the flying donkey, which brayed in fear as it glided above the bay for half an hour.
Russia Today reported the donkey was shell-shocked but survived.
Reports said the donkey flight was a promotional stunt. Employees of a leisure firm in the village of Golubitskaya on the Azov Sea could face two years in prison if they are charged and convicted of animal cruelty."

Well, I certainly hope that they are charged with animal cruelty! I agree with you 100%. I just don't understand how anyone could even contemplate this.
Amen!!!!!
As you already know that article really pissed me off. I was so angry and upset. Just the thought alone at what the donkey was forced to go through. Ugh!!!!
Sometimes I think that public hangings shoule be reinstated.
OMG, That poor animal! That was not a stunt and I hope he is charged and it is more than 2 years!
I hope they ARE charged and punished.
Parasail their stupid a--es over the ocean, then drop them in some deep water.
I can't stand it when people make the "it's just an animal" comment.
That is appalling! I think some people are de-evolving as human beings.....
I can't believe that someone would even THINK about something like this! I don't think two years is enough :o( That poor donkey.
I don't know how people come up with their bright ideas at times....who thinks stuff like this up and then thinks it's a good idea? Just makes me shake my head and want to cry. Two years? Not enough time...but then again " it's just an animal" isn't it? When do people start respecting any living being?
