Outrage has spread around the world after a donkey was buckled into a harness and launched into the air and out over the sea by a parasail. This sickening stunt was used to promote a private beach resort on the Sea of Azov in Southern Russia and lasted for half an hour.

We are shocked by the cruel and irresponsible behaviour of the people behind this "advertising" campaign in Russia. The donkey would have been extremely distressed, suffering immeasurable fear and pain. This should never have happened.
We condemned this sickening act!

We demand that Russian officials should investigate and the organisers of the stunt must face animal cruelty charges.

Dear Governor Tkachev,

We the undersigned are appalled at the cruel and irresponsible behaviour of the people behind this "advertising" campaign in Russia. We condemned this sickening act!

We expect that Russian officials investigate and the organisers of the stunt have to face animal cruelty charges.

Thank for taking time to read our letter.
