Parasailing Donkey




Recently, a group of entrepreneurs promoted their business by forcing a donkey to
parasail. Do you feel that this is animal cruelty? Should the people who did this be punished? Animal rights activists are filing a lawsuit against the business for endangering the donkey. What is the craziest business promotion tactic you have seen? Do you feel that this form of advertising provided the business with more customers? My favorite is the Liberty Tax Service people who dress as the Statue of Liberty and dance on the sidewalk.

No its human stupidity! No they shouldn’t because you can’t give mentally challenged people the death penalty! I don’t pay attention to promotions. No it made them lose customers. Whose blog was this? Great Blog!

I do think that this is an act of animal cruelty. I think they should be charged with lawsuit against the business for endangering the donkey. I feel bad for the donkey. Although, its kind of funny how someone randomly thought to parasail a donkey. I don't know if that is a form of advertising to me.

I do not like what they did to this donkey. I consider that animal cruelty. If people kept telling them to stop, then they definitely should have stopped. I haven't seen too many crazy buisness advertisements lately. The only funny or silly thing I have seen is someone dressing as a sub for subway.

I do think this is animal cruelty. I do think that it is animal cruelty. I also think he should be punished because they were endangering the donkey. This is probably the craziest business promotion tactic I have ever seen. No, I do not think this tactic would help their business.

Yes this is animal cruelty, the donkey could have drowned. I think they should be fined, but jail time would be a little much. I think this is probably the craziest promotion I have ever seen. I do not know if this gave that business more customers. It surly brought them more attention, whether it be negative or positive.

I don't think that this is exactly animal cruelty. Parents force their children to do things that scare them and make them cry and whine all the time. Why should it be animal cruelty? The harness is safe for humans and it was more than likely altered in some way to be safe for the donkey. These people are indeed stupid, but if this is animal cruelty then our existence alone deserves a law of cruelty against it.

I feel that this is funny. Although I feel this is a type of animal cruelty. I feel this was just a stunt, to be of notice. This is not safe! Treat animals right!

I do feel like that is animal cruelty. That is so mean! I think they should be punished. It gets old how people treat animals nowadays. This is the craziest promotion tactic I have ever seen.

I do believe this is animal cruelty. I believe there should be some type of punishment. I do not know what the craziest business promotion tactic I have seen. The way people felt about what they did will effect how much business they will gain. I feel sorry for the Statue of Liberty who dances on the sidewalk in the summer because it is definitely hot most days.

I do feel that this is animal cruelty. The people that did this should be punished but not a lot. I do not even know why someone would even think to do this. This is the craziest business promotion tactic I have seen. I do not think that this form of advertising provided the business with more customers.

I do feel like this is animal cruelty. These people should definitely be punished. I can’t think of the craziest advertisement I’ve ever seen. I’m sure the business did get more customers even after this stupid stunt, because now a day’s people are fascinated by the simplest thing, even if it does but an animal in danger.

I have no idea what these people were thinking. That was not a good form of advertisement. Yes, this is a form of animal cruelty and they probably will get some form of punishment. I think the best business promotion that I have ever seen has to be Chick-fila. I do not think that this business got any more business from the flying donkey. If anything, I think they lost business. I do think that the Liberty Tax advertisements are funny. One day I was coming from Suffolk and I saw a Liberty man doing the Cubic shuffle on the sidewalk. I was weak.
