Several years ago, the Leg made it a crime to "trip" a horse. Next up?

Investigator rules high-diving mule act not cruel
SAN ANTONIO � An investigator for the Bandera County Sheriff's Office found that mules used in a high-diving act were not treated cruelly.

Deputy Shane Merritt said no prodding was needed to get the three miniature mules to step off the 16-foot-high platform into the pool at Lightning Ranch.

"I didn't think it was animal cruelty," said Merritt, noting the animals performed the trick for years as part of a traveling road show.

The mules � named Dipsy Doodle, Smokey and Ingrid � are weekly headliners at a show on the ranch owned by Bill Rivers.

We need legislative action NOW!!! Stop the madness!

I do believe that mule is nekkid!

I have actually seen them jump last week and i thought it was pretty cool (though not in a mean way). The mule seems just fine with it.

I remember taking my kids to see Ralph the Swinning Pig at San Marcos about 12 years ago. That was pretty neat, too.

There once was a dude with a mule
Who made it dive into a pool.
Said the cop on the beat,
While feeling the heat,
"I don't see how this is cruel!"

Here's the headline:

Pool Mule Fuels Duel--Cool or Cruel?

He had a pet monkey
who liked to get drunk
sang boogey woogey
and it sounded real funky

Who said it?

Ray Stevens in "Gitarzan"

A winner! And so quick, was it that easy?

It was not difficult for someone that grew up listening to Ray Stevens. I would bet that there are several people on here that do not know who Ray Stevens is so the question would probably have been more difficult for them.
