Mexican donkey freed after acting like a jackass

Blacky jailed for three days for biting, kicking two men ‘like it was rabid’

TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, Mexico - A Mexican donkey has been freed from jail after doing time for acting like a jackass.

The Televisa network on Wednesday showed Blacky gobbling food from a bucket after spending three days in a jail that normally holds people for public drunkenness and other disturbances.

Blacky was jailed for biting and kicking two men near a ranch outside Tuxtla Gutierrez, the capital of the southern state of Chiapas.

Officials freed the donkey after its owner paid a fine of $36 and the $115 hospital bill of the men, who suffered bites to the chest and a broken ankle. Authorities say he also must pay $480 to each man for missed work days.

The victims said the donkey bit Genaro Vazquez, 63, in the chest on Sunday and then kicked 52-year-old Andres Hernandez as he tried to come to the rescue, fracturing his ankle.

"All of a sudden, the animal was on top of us like it was rabid," Hernandez said.

Police said it took a half-dozen men to control the enraged beast.

Chiapas police have thrown animals in the slammer before, including a bull that devoured corn crops and destroyed two wooden vending stands in March.

In 2006, a dog was locked up for 12 days after biting someone. His owners were fined $18.

I find this very funny. I mean, besides pounds, what's the point in jailing animals? They aren't going to learn from such an experience and try to act better from there on out.

hahahahahaha nice XD

i want a ex con donkey XD

More people die every year from donkey-inflicted wounds than plane crashes.

I laughed at the title.
It's not just to make them learn (which I don't think they do), but also to protect the people around. Or they have no other place to put it.

That is messed up. Like that other person said, it's not going to learn it's lesson.

Seen it. It was on I-am-bored.com

Still laughing my ass off

Or laughing my DONKEY OFF? AMIRITE LOL?!

Ouch.

Double ouch.

I think they were trying to restrain the donkey, rather than teach it a lesson. I doubt the rural Mexican prison system and animal stables are that different anyway.

So I guess someone needs to arrest half my school for being jackasses.

Seriously, who throws an animal in jail? Just put it down or something.

The thread title sounds like a headline straight from The Onion!

Taking an animal's life just because it acts out turn once? And speaking of murder so lightly?

Sadist.

Based on my reading of what Blizzaga posted, the donkey was jailed in the same way that a car would be impounded if you were parked in a no-parking zone. Basically, the owner had to pay up for allowing his donkey to cause damage.



I didn't get the impression that it had anything to do with teaching the animal a lesson --- the jail was probably the most secure place that the cops could put the animal.

Sssh! Let me have my fun!

But yeah, I see that now. I had just barely woken up when I read that article, so my brain didn't work everything through. ^_^'

The title was pretty catchy, though.

I wasn't the one that came up with it. It's what caught my attention the instant I opened up my browser.
