Donkey jailed in Mexico over attacks  | | A donkey is doing time in southern Mexico for assault and battery. 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, police said. Officer Sinar Gomez said the donkey would remain behind bars until its owner agreed to pay the men's medical bills. "Around here, if someone commits a crime they are jailed," Gomez said, "no matter who they are". The owner, Mauro Gutierrez, told The Associated Press he would try to reach a friendly arrangement to pay the men's bills, estimated at $US420 ($A440). The victims said the donkey bit Genaro Vazquez, 63, in the chest and then kicked 52-year-old Andres Hernandez as he tried to come to the rescue, fracturing his ankle. "All of a sudden, the animal was on top of us like it was rabid," Hernandez said. Police said it took a half-dozen men to control the enraged donkey. Chiapas police have thrown animals in the slammer before, including a bull that devoured corn crops and destroyed two wooden vending stands in March. In 2006, a dog was locked up for 12 days after biting someone. His owners were fined $US18 ($A19). http://au.news.yahoo.com/080520/2/16xil.html

Well, you must have been expecting somebody to make that comment? I agree that the owner should be responsible for the actions of his animal and it seems a shame he wasn't the one locked up.

Aussies2007 (2555) | 5 months ago | Making you compensate the victim for its medical costs in order to be release from jail does not seem such a bad idea. I would not mind this system being used in our countries. Too many victims gets rip off while the criminal walks away with a slap on the wrist. We could start with our teenagers convicted of crimes. Lock them up and keep them there until the parents compensate the victim for their loss. Just think of the possibilities... No need to insure your car against theft... as the thief would need to replace your car.

| | 2. moolahmagnet (1814) | 5 months ago | I'm just wondering what if the owner refused to pay or no funds for the damages the donkey made, will they keep the donkey in jail? I supposed any pet like the dogs, it's fair that the owners are held liable if they're not on a fenced property or on a leash. G'day!

| | 3. suehan1 (1806) | 5 months ago | i think that the owners should pay the medical bills for these men.but you would have to be sure that these men did not provoke the donkey or they were not trespassing on the owners property.i like your idea about parents being responsible for their childrens bad behaviour and having to pay their damages,it might cut down a bit of street crime for sure.cheers sue
