Words Fail Me - Donkey Crushed By Fat Man

[boxtops]

This is really distressing, what an uncaring *** http://metro.co.uk/2014/12/18/nativity-donkey-crushed-to-death-by-23st-man-who-sat-on-it-for-picture-4991704/

[ummmm]

Poor thing. Some people are so stupid!

[NoMercy]

What a cruel person.

[boxtops]

Poor little thing was only five months old. When I saw the heading yesterday, I thought perhaps he'd fallen on it - not a deliberate act. I hope they catch him.

[sandyRoe]

The Spanish seem to be gratuitously cruel to animals. Ranges from their king going on safari to shoot elephants, through bullfighting, to incidents like this.
It would make you sick.

[pastafreak]

I'm not reading it...I can't read it. That's just too distressing.

[ummmm]

Not sure he was intentionally cruel. Just very stupid.

[ludwig]

He didn't mean to kill it, he was just a silly fat *** having a 'laugh'. When they throw them off bell towers that's intentional.

[Old_Geezer]

What was the donkey's owner/keeper/protector doing whilst the idiot was getting his photograph ?

[boxtops]

Well, indeed, O_G. When they have reindeer in the town centre here, their pen is constantly monitored by their keepers.

[Sqad]

Stupid act by the bloke.

A necropsy needs performing to define the cause of death which may have nothing to do with the fellows stupidity.

[wolf63]

I am very fat and my first consideration when sitting on a chair or whatever is whether it will safely support my weight. I would never consider risking the health of an animal just so that I could have 'fun'. This guy was a moron, eject or whatever the Spanish word is.

The animal's death may have been totally unconnected to the fat man incident, but I don't suppose that it helped.

I see from the comments at the bottom of the page that the Anti-Fatties and Animal rights 'extremists' are grasping onto this sad incident.

Thinking of it - surely somebody was in charge of the donkeys. I don't know when donkeys reach adulthood but I suspect that this one was still a baby.

I almost agree with Sqad.

[Marijn]

I hope throwing live donkeys and goats off church spires has been banned in Spain now. Does anyone know?

Appalling

I heard of an accidental one from friends who lived in NY for a while. Their priest (being of RC persuasion) had a call out to visit one of his old dears whose hubbie had passed away.

Anyway, he rumbled into the house being over 28 stone, she tells him to sit down while she disappeared to make some coffee. A Klklklklklklkxlklxkklx underneath him as he sat back and he had squashed her chihuahua......

Oops - the difference this was an accident, the Spanish one the height of stupidity. He deserves to be prosecuted.

[wolf63]

DTC - I know that I will rot in hell for admitting this but... I laughed at your post. Poor little dog, poor woman and the priest must have been mortified.
But I am still sniggering. I am bad!

[DTCwordfan]

I agree, wolfie, there is a touch of dark humour to this one.....mess around with Opus Dei and this is what happens!

[Arksided]

What a nob-head! ... and that's me being polite.

[pastafreak]

Oh dear...I sniggered also. Mea culpa...etc

[whirlyhurly]

Why oh why didn't someone stop him. Horrendous, poor innocent donkey.

[wildwood]

His punishment should be to be the footstool for the local circus' elephant.

[weecalf]

What could he be charged with, arson maybe ?
