In Brussels the Belgian police have demanded that Lola, a theatrical donkey, be removed from the balcony of a cultural centre the city, after neighbors complained about her loud braying.
Lola is hanging-out on a first-floor balcony while she performs in a play at the Arab Cultural Centre, located in the same building. Staff had laid out straw and a bucket of water so she could get some fresh air when not performing.
Police have ordered Lola’s keeper to move her inside after receiving complaints about the donkey making too much noise.
Lola was still outside on Friday, and the (extremely pissed)-off) Director of the cultural center was angrily berating her neighbors for interfering.
“I say to the neighbors, well done! Why does it matter to you?” Hawa Djabili shouted at passersby. Asked why the donkey was still outside, she replied Lola “needed to breathe.” (So nothing to do with the rugs then…..)
The Brussels police said they planned to return with animal welfare officers to remove Lola if the centre did not comply with the order to keep the donkey indoors.
The animal is appearing in a play called “The Palestinian” at the Arab Cultural Center that runs until this evening.
…. and they say “the law is an ass,” In Belgium it’s all just so much bigger then they could have dreamed.
