Donkey Causes £5k Of Damage After Mistaking Orange McLaren For Carrot
A donkey named Fitus found was at the centre of a bizarre court case in the German federal state of Hesse this week. Why? Because the creature decided to dine out on a McLaren 650S parked near his paddock last year.
Owner Markus Zahn was left with a €5800 (£5100) bill after the curious incident, but wasn’t able to claim compensation from the donkey owner’s insurance company. The reason? The company reckoned the 49-year-old supercar owner should have picked a better parking spot.
The matter went to court, where it was decided the donkey’s owner was indeed liable for the damage.
As to why Fitus thought the 650S constituted a tasty treat, both the police and Zahn have theorised that he mistook the orange McLaren for a carrot…

So that means…orange cars are animal-friendly?
“I’m gonna feed a orange Prius to my rabbit because it can be confused with carrots.”
Well the McLaren driver was a jackass.
Get it?
Ba-doom tsss
OMG
So its a carrot with an active wing?
Please don’t kill yourself.
And he is stupid for parking it that close to a farm wtf
Lol
The donkey thought it to be a giant “orange Papaya” … a giant fruit that fell from heavens above. 😂
From now on, whenever a fly buzzing around your house is too stupid to go through the open part of the window and that ruins your day, think about what this donkey did to a McLaren!
Well that must have been awkwardly to explain
Owner of Car- “Hey, why ha my car been damaged? “
Farmer- “Erm… So… Your car… It’s really orange.. “
Owner- “Yes… So? “
Farmer-“So, my donkey may have, slightly mistaken it for a massive carrot, and, err, slightly tried to eat it”
Owner- “I’m not sure if it’s you or the donkey who is the real dumb ass “
Farmor: “And I think it might be you, for choosing that specific parking spot, and thinking I’m a dumbass for my donkey’s action”
Honestly, even the insurance company says it’s entirely owner’s fault. I honestly can’t see what the farmer could have done to avoid that to happen. Plus, £5k is most likely peanuts for a 650S owner. I hope the farmer will contest the judgement, he can’t be hold responsible for what his donkey did, and can’t definitively be hold responsible for the owner’s decision to park his car there. The owner is honestly a massive douchebag, it’s entirely his fault, yet he sues the farmer in court. I hope something happens to him.
Seems like Fitus the donkey is as smart as a foetus
is “ass” smart “ass” a foetus
