Donkey Anapka undergoes medical checks in Moscow yesterday.

Paragliding donkey rescued by Rupert Murdoch’s team

Donkey to stay grounded at Harry Redknapp’s new pad.

A DONKEY FORCED to paraglide at a Russian holiday resort as part of a marketing stunt has been bought by the Sun newspaper.

Anapka, a female donkey, was dragged into the air over the Azov Sea in the south of the country for about half an hour.

After hearing of the incident, readers of the Sun wrote in and urged the paper to rescue the donkey. Garry O’Shea, a correspondent with the paper, said that thousands of people contacted them to secure the 17-year-old donkey’s safety.

Spurs coach Harry Redknapp has offered to stable the donkey at an animal sanctuary he’s opening in England.

Redknapp told the Sun that he was “sickened by the actions of the scumbag who treated Anapka so badly,” and that he believes animals deserve the same protections as humans.
