Russia investigates possible prosecution of animal cruelty and abuse--after men launch a parasailing donkey into the air from a beach. The flying donkey was in the air for approximately 30 minutes, braying in fear and finally landing in the ocean--where the donkey was then dragged through the water, the animal surviving but terrified. Police say the parasailing donkey was an advertising stunt by a beachside resort attempting to promote its parasailing services. If convicted on animal cruelty or abuse charges, the men involved could face up to two years in jail.
