Sorry man`s ass thrown in jail

19.09.2008

AN Egyptian donkey has been jailed for stealing corn on the cob from a field belonging to an agricultural research institute in the Nile Delta, local media reported today.

The ass and its owner were apprehended at a police checkpoint that had been set up after the institute`s director complained that someone was stealing his crops, the state-owned Al-Ahram daily said.

The unnamed ungulate was found in possession of the institute`s corn and a local judge sentenced him to 24 hours in prison.

The man who had his ass thrown in jail got off with a fine of 50 Egyptian pounds ($11.40).

It amazes me that they have such poor animal welfare standards, but when it comes to crime the animals are punished as humans !
