A frightened donkey was launched in a promotional parasailing stunt on a Russian coast near Moscow. The culprits responsible for the parasailing donkey are employees of a leisure firm from Golubitskaya, a small village in Southern Russia. Beachgoers were shocked by the sight of a flying donkey, which was air-bound for over half an hour, clearly in distress.
Authorities have opened an animal cruelty case and, if convicted, the employees could serve a two-year prison sentence for the parasailing donkey stunt.
