A mexican Donkey is spending some time in the pokey for assaulting a man. I guess someone actually felt the donkey should be punished for breaking human laws. I wonder if they read the donkey his rights when he got arrested. Now does the donkey get a lawyer or does he simply represent himself. Can he put up some hay as bail?

Metro actually reported this story where the locals had this to say… “Around here, if someone commits a crime they are jailed,” Gomez said - “no matter who they are.”

The donkey’s owner is Mauro Gutierrez and the donkey inmate will be in his new accommodations in the jail until Mr. Guitierrez pays some medical bills to the donkey’s victim. Seems the donkey bit victim, Mr. Vazquez then kicked another man who came to his rescue.

The police in that region have jailed animals in the past including a bull that stole some corn and a dog that bit someone.

Seems Chiapas is an equal opportunity jailer treating everyone the same no matter what species you may be.
