A video shared on social network Facebook announced the moment when donkey owner Muñeco forces him to drink beer through his nose to celebrate his victory in a race at the festival del Mango in Colombia. The situation has not been welcomed and has generated a wave of criticism.
Every year the festival runs a donkey race in which animals have to make a course. This year was Muñeco the winner and the prize was 150 thousand Colombian pesos, equivalent to about 40 euros.
The moment when the owner of the animal decided to make him drink beer was captured and disclosed by Jonatan Tatan, where you can see the animal drinking directly from the bottle. After Muñeco refused to drink, the owner put the bottle in one of her nostrils.
Nicolás García Bustos, the local governor, has already reacted to this and wrote in his Twitter account that: “It is not possible that while in government we promote the establishment of the Animal Welfare and Protection Institute, these acts will be presented in the Department. We reject any activity involving animal abuse. “
We are not able to promote the creation of the Institute of Animal Welfare and Animal Protection, if present in the Department. We reject all activity that involves animal maltreatment @juliherrerap # Cundinamarca2020 https://t.co/I4rTWDP13F
