The law is indeed an a** and now it has caught up with these Indian a**es.

Eight donkeys have spent four days in an Indian jail for eating expensive plants.

They did not go for trial. They were summarily incarcerated as the illegal eating took place near a prison in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

The animals were arrested after eating up “expensive” plants just outside the compound of the main jail in the state’s Jalaun district, over 200 km from capital Lucknow.

“Various types of saplings were planted in the jail premises for beautification. Those were damaged by the donkeys. Hence, I rounded them up,” jail chief, Sita Ram Sharma told the media.

The donkeys were freed on Monday after a local politician of the state’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) intervened in the wake of a plea by the owner of the donkeys.

“For two days, I could not find my horses and donkeys. When I came to know that they are in jail, I sought the help from local BJP leaders to secure their release,” owner Kamlesh S. said.

Who says there is nothing new under the sun?!

All the cows of the Fulani herdsmen would have been in jail by now if that kinda law exist here!

No to jailing of animals, we love 'em, they make our business blossom says Manna Barbecue and Grills!!

Korrect, next time they'll not try it again. Same should be applied to our fulani brothers.

Is it because they are donkeys? Indians will never jail cows.
