    A donkey at an Algerian market ate the money of a man who came to buy him, making the unfortunate buyer and the owner wonder who the animal belongs to, an Algerian newspaper reported.

    Al Shuruk al Yawmi, a newspaper published in the northern Algerian town of Tizi Ouzou, said the customer and the seller were traditionally bargaining for price for too long and failed to notice the donkey consuming the stack of banknotes meant as a payment for him.

    Neither the Tizi Ouzou district court nor the city court were able to make a ruling that would satisfy both parties, so the case was passed on to the Algerian Supreme Court in the hope that it will resolve the bitter dispute.

    Then what's your idea about this case?

    Obviously the donkey should be charged with theft. Subject to a ruling by the Algerian courts, the donkey may be acquitted and subsequently will belong to himself.
    Cherie Blair may well be interested in this particular case as the human rights of both the owner and the buyer have been seriously breached by the donkey.

    if it happened in wigan,
    the donkey would be cut open and what could be retieved would be split 50/50, then the carcuss sold for human consumption in the form of pie meat,

    Surely the owner is responsible for the donkey and it's actions, so he is liable for the eaten money, which he should reimburse the buyer for(if he had not yet agreed to sell). The owner may decide that reimbursement would be the value of the donkey, and so give the donkey in payment. The owner loses out, as he has no donkey and no money, so he could then force the new owner to pay back the money because his money is in the donkey.
    The donkey, of course is a law unto himself.

    Conclusion: The law is an ***.


    Mr. HandyAndy - Really
