The man jumped over a fence and leapt on to the five-month-old donkey, named Platero, who was part of a nativity scene in the town of Lucena, near Córdoba.
Platero, along with the other animals in the nativity, was not meant to be touched by the public, died two days later. Lucena's local council ordered a veterinary report to establish the donkey’s cause of death.
If that report concludes the animal's death was caused by the man sitting on it, legal action will be taken, the council said. The investigation was launched following a complaint by the animal rights wing of political party Podemos and the Association for the Defence of the Donkey (Adebo). “The donkey was literally squashed by the man,” the groups said in their complaint.

Delusional Andalusian
I saw what you did there, anon.
It's even worse. Platero is the name of a fictional donkey, much loved by readers.
