Parasailing donkey
RUSSIAN police have been asked to investigate a rare case of a donkey being forced to parasail.
Reports of the parasailing donkey came from eyewitnesses who said they saw it drifting along a beach on the Sea of Azov in the Temryk District in Krasnodar.
Police said the owners of the parasailing business will face animal cruelty charges if they are found to have forced the donkey to parasail.
A police spokesman said he believed the donkey was used for promotional purposes.
"The donkey was taken on a parasailing ride to draw attention to this attraction," he told Ria Novosti.
"The donkey was braying and children were crying but no one had the sense to report it to the police."
The owners of the business could face a maximum of two years in prison.
