Giving lift to a donkey

Giving lift to a donkey
Nowadays newspapers like to print such stupid stories. After all they have to fill up all the pages with articles, however non news worthy they may be. So today I read in the newspaper the following news, "cop detains wandering donkey". What is so news worthy in this story. But this happened in the US state of Oklahoma and anything happening in US has to create waves. Whether it is a donkey or ...dashians, every news has the capacity to break the internet. So here is a cop doing his normal duties, when he suddenly spies upon that very elegant animal, a donkey. Now, if this happens in any town or the biggest metropolitan city in India, the cops would  just take a detour, since animals of all types, from the humble cats to the regal elephants, are just a part of the everyday traffic and they have the right of the way. And the cops are either too busy, with raiding dance bars or doing other forms of moral policing of the two legged life form,  to worry about the prancing  of the four legged variety. But in Oklahoma, it is a shocker for everyone if any animal other than the homosepien, shows up on city roads. And so the brave cop in Oklahoma gave a lift to the donkey in his patrol car and dropped it to the nearest zoo. I wonder how he must have negotiated and persuaded the donkey to get into his car. With such negotiation and persuasion skills, he should be working in the boardroom, negotiating takeovers and mergers.
