For half-an-hour, Russian beachgoers were treated, or possibly tormented, by the sight and sounds of a fear-crazed donkey flying over the sandy beaches on the shores of the Azov Sea, near Golubitskaya, Russia.

Now, the donkey is fine. However, the employees of the leisure company might not be fine. They’re facing possible charges of animal cruelty, which in Russia carries a two-year jail sentence. You have to wonder if anyone actually thought ahead to whether or not donkeys wanted to fly before they did this. Surely they could’ve found some kind of stunt animal who loves to fly, like perhaps a dog that’s been trained to enjoy skyward trips!
