:( buncha sad-ass-ts. 

haha 

sooooo making animals parasail is wrong but making them surf/skateboard is funny. . . 

Spanky gets my stamp of approval for tagging something with a Jay and Silent Bob quote. 

cruelty or not, i have to admit I laughed when it took off. 

i laughed heartily, and felt bad, then i laughed harder 

That was hilarious!

I laughed too, for all we know the donkey was having the time of its life! Like a little kid scared on a roller coaster but happy they did it. 

if it landed safely on the ground instead of falling in the water, it'd probably charge any parachute is saw in hopes that it could fly again.

As for landing in the water and being drug behind as a "Cruel" act... how the hell else do you land?

i had just watched the video of the girl farting in the gym, then ran this one. i didn't want to laugh but, like her, it just slipped out. 

Make an animal do back breaking labor humans dont want to do = perfectly acceptable.

Make and animal do things humans wished they had the oppurtunity to do? = WHOA WHOA WHOA Animal Cruelty!

it is also perfectly acceptable to go skydiving with your dog too. 

Oh, my...

I'm SHOCKED, I tell you. Shocked. If it were a pig, well, that'd be one thing. But an ass? I was expecting at least a pinko commie democrat, as they are often euphemized as "donkeys", and are certainly asses. And like to fly. First class.

Actually, I'd have a damned hard time as a jury member facing this argument: "The donkey was cruelly tortured by the humans, your honor!" (Judge:) "how?" (prosecutor:) "by strapping it to a common beachside parasail" (Judge:) "in a harness, like beach-goers?" (pros:) "Yes, and it was flown around for 30 minutes".

Let me see... the harness was built for the purpose. The apparatus is often used for adults and children alike, ranging from 25 to well over 100 kilograms. The ass weighed in at about 75 kg. Now, how exactly can it be "animal cruelty", when ordinary people on holiday take the ride - and pay good money! - all the time?

Is it animal cruelty to toss a kitty-cat in a bath? They hate it, and try to escape violently. Yes? Well, is it cruelty to the kitty-cat when it is covered with kerosene and flea powder? No? WHY NOT? Oh, because the perps are doing something either good, or necessary, or life-saving to the kitty cat??? Really!

So, it becomes "cruelty" when the animal is subjected to a procedure out of amusement, but is fully acceptable when it is done for some ostensibly good reason. Oh, I get it. Cruelty ... must fall under the heading of "something done to another entity with the intention to torture, cause pain, the fear of pain, or the belief in observers that the entity is in pain, is suffering, or can perceive that its life or well-being is being threatened

Well, ain't that something. Ever shoot a pig on "pork day" down in Louisiana? Pig don't know what-all is coming, so just stands there. Blam. Dead pig (only about 50% of the time - seems no one knows where its darn brain is)...

Ever get so darned mad at your kitty-cat that you take it to the vet for euthanizing because ... it caught a rat, and spent the next couple of hours torturing it to death? No? WHY NOT!? Oh... because the "intent to cause or extend harm" wasn't possibly in the head of kitty-cat. But, if YOU were to catch a rat, and tie her by the tail to a coat-hanger, and wait days for the darn thing to perish, you'd be guilty of animal cruelty.

I wonder where the line draws down? Is it even possible to be cruel to bugs? How about snakes? How about frogs? Or fishes... Is it a wee bit cruel to put a couple dozen fishes in a glass aquarium, and have the aggressive 6 torment and ultimately kill off the weaker 6, over a period of weeks? No? Yes? Even if "yes", is this something you'd want the LAW to be prosecuting?

It is a very important matter for us to consider - because we have to be careful of whether we care too much about too little, when the donkey that endlessly walks about in a circle to pump water is not "cruelly" treated, and the cock that is illicitly raised to fight other cocks IS cruelly treated, and the rat that hangs from a tree ... qualifies as cruel, but the one that is caught by the tail in a rat-trap ... and ignored for a few days ... is not. Beware the slippery slope of equivalencing "pain" to "suffering", to "torture", to "cruelty". Horse owners put bits in horses mouths, which are extraordinarily painful, and which some would say are cruel - but are also accepted as "training aids". Bulls have nose-rings. Must be there for something other than to show up on the front page of GQ, you know. Dogs and cats have their dicks whacked off, their innards clipped out. So they don't reproduce. Punishment for cruelty? Nah! Public service!!!

^ Wow... 

Jesus Christ, GoatGuy. You gonna turn that essay in to your Ethics professor? 

i laughed so hard, that donkey just took off hahaha 

I like how the donkey gets his own news spot but the 60 dead from a train accident are reduced to the scroller on the bottom. 

Tow their bodies behind a boat and you've got headline material.

Wasn't he the one giving the newscast in the beginning? 

Haha! Okay, really, that was kinda mean. I still laughed. 

Nice to see steady progress for the Mexican space program

*Waits quietly to be killed by a Mexican now* 

I bet the donkey enjoyed it.

I some how think otherwise. Going scuba with kitty or skydiving with pooch strapped to your chest is one thing; but this donkey, who has no idea wtf is going on, probably spent the whole time thinking it was about to die. Did I laugh? Well, yeah. I still felt bad for the donkey though.

No I think he enjoyed it.

No way. 

calm down man, I'm just trying to have a conversation here 

I doubt the donkey enjoyed it.
People dig it because we understand that its safe, and we're not gonna die.
Somehow I don't think the donkey grasped the concept. 

Until someone translates a donkey into some human language, we'll never know. until then, and we can confirm that the animals don't like it, i vote we continue to use animals for our work, amusement, and food. who knows, maybe a cows ultimate goal in life is to be the best tasting steak there has ever been??? I'd like to thing this donkey is going to be like our UFO abductees.

Donkey: "There was this strange noise. then suddenly, I was in the air, flying like a bird. It was terrifying."

Donkey's friend. (Sarcasticac brey meaning) "Sure. you were 'flying'. have you been eating those cow shit mushrooms again?" 

thing = think 

GoatGuy = New favorite Fazer for the remainder of the month.

A lot of energy for Backwash, but killer nonetheless. Bravo. 

Thanks for the thoughtful insight "KornGod"!

this is just stupid. We use animals for work and food, regardless of whether or not they like it. Ultimately, it doesn't really matter because we are not going to change our habits either way. But there is a difference between dislike and fear, and it seems cruel to assume we can do anything we want to an animal simply because we can't prove that it is not afraid. Many people are afraid of engaging in these activities, and they have the capacity to understand them. The donkey clearly does not, not did the donkey make the decision to go flying. Creatures fear what they don't understand, particularly when the element of choice is eliminated. Its not too far of a jump to conclude that the donkey was scared, so subjecting him to the situation was punitive and cruel.

also, the idea that a cow wants to be a steak is retarded. Darwin established this, even though we intuitively knew it long beforehand. Spend some time at a butchers, you'll see very quickly that animals are afraid to die. 

I think an animal being afraid of death and having the instinct to preserve itself are two very different things. I won't elaborate beyond that, because it's an impossible argument to fight either way. 

Donkeys love parasailing.

Fact.

I can't believe some of you are arguing this. 

Things I know:

~ Tigers love pepper. They hate cinnamon.
~ Donkeys love parasailing. 

^ FACT ^

I'm glad someone is backing me up.
We should encourage these initiatives.

No to animal cruelty, yes to animal entertainment.

Donkeys have rights too.

Oh I'm calm, just waiting for a "Yes way." 

Donkeys love the entertainment industry. They even have their own shows in Mexico. 

OberonFox said:

just.

calm.

down. 

You can't make them fly, you can only stuff them in a cage with no movement to make them nice and tender and then eat them. Flying is just too cruel. 

I heard they taste like ass. 

Anyone who thinks the donkey had fun hasn't worked with large animals.
