Nicosia - A Nicosia businessman, who tied his endangered Cyprus donkey to a raft in a water skiing stunt in hopes of setting a world record, faces jail for cruelty to animals, a veterinary official has told AFP.
"We can't be made to look like hypocrites after going to so much trouble to present ourselves as animal lovers. These nouveau-riche types make some money and stop making sense," a veterinary department official said on Wednesday.
