Mexican donkey jailed for assault


A donkey is doing time in southern Mexico for assault and battery. Police say the animal was locked up at a local jail that normally holds people for public drunkenness and other disturbances after it bit and kicked two men near a ranch in Chiapas state. Officers say that the donkey will remain in prison until the owner pays the mens medical bills which is estimated at about $420
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.
Police said it took a half-dozen men to control the enraged donkey.
"All of a sudden, the animal was on top of us like it was rabid," Hernandez said.
Chiapas police have thrown animals in the slammer before, including a bull that devoured corn crops and destroyed two wooden vending stands in March.

This is actually pretty funny, making a donkey serve jail time for bitting and kicked 2 men. I understand making the owner of the donkey pay for medical support, but making a donkey serve jail time is just stupid. What do they think is going to happen? Making a donkey serve jail time isnt going to make him change.
