I still want a gun, but, it's probably best I don't have one. ....and I will still continue to hire thugs (which by the way only cost $100 most days at one of my favourite places to find tough guys who love animals) to meet out some form of punishment when I find animals being abused.... no point in waiting on political or any other wheels to turn...they haven't turned in years....BumbleVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272892605379537233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-48258678734237918122010-07-27T04:09:22.137-07:002010-07-27T04:09:22.137-07:00This appalling act of cruelty has received a lot o...This appalling act of cruelty has received a lot of publicity in the UK & one of the "red top" newspapers has apparently set up a campaign to "rescue" the poor donkey. <br /><br />My cynicism extends to thinking that this will become a profitable export market for Russia, so I have instead emailed the Russian embassy to say that I have cancelled my planned trip to Kiev this autumn & will not spend any of my cash on Russian products in the future. <br /><br />I hope that if enough people openly state that they will withhold their money, then the impact of this thoughtless act of cruelty will become more apparent to the lumbering State monolith. <br /><br />Poor donkey.

I can only assume this is how animal abuse and cruelty are dealth with in Russia ie: ignored, tolerated and who knows. even tacitly encouraged. Has anyone received an answer to their emails to the Russian embassy? We have not.ponymaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996833096239732307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-61781585053559305432010-07-26T10:09:37.546-07:002010-07-26T10:09:37.546-07:00From what I've read in various places the owne...From what I've read in various places the owner of this poor Donkey "disappeared" with his Donkey, then later turned himself in and presented the Donkey for inspection whereupon it was deemed unharmed and therefore no cruelty charges are to be laid. <br /><br />Pardon my cynicism, but am I the only one who doubts that the Donkey presented for inspection is the same one who was so callously abused ? If so, one wonders why the disappearing act ????Gazellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02271233420574993661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769158267288053176.post-13579011920257807422010-07-25T19:07:01.632-07:002010-07-25T19:07:01.632-07:00Grey Horse Matters, it would seem that prosecution...Grey Horse Matters, it would seem that prosecution is not on the books for the donkey abusers.

It hardly seems possible...if this is true then it speaks volumes about the official Russian attitude toward animal abuse.
