In Dagestan, Russia, a group of dudes got a donkey, strapped him to a zipline and then sent him on his way. Now, the police don’t really know what to do about it.

According to Russian outlet RT, police looked into the incident after the video went viral, but there wasn’t really a charge they could place on the perpetrators. Is it mean to throw a donkey down a zipline? Sure, but the donkey suffered no injury, so it cannot officially be determined whether the donkey hated or loved it.

Still, I’d recommend against trying this — not that you’ll ever get the chance (unless you live in Russia, apparently).
