'Pinky' the donkey has been used in promotions for Pink Taco before.

Internet users quickly posted an image of the donkey and created a facebook page titled, "Boycott Pink Taco Century City."
Critics say the dyed donkey was tied to a post and forced to stand outside in 90-degree heat.
Facebook user Maureen Mccarthy wrote, "This is an outrage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"These people are just plain sick, cruel, and have a seriously distorted view of what sells and what's supposedly funny. I hope they're called to answer for their sheer cruelty and ignorance," wrote Angelique Montague.
Activists say the restaurant chain deleted its Twitter and facebook pages following the public outcry.
An officer reportedly made Pink Taco take down the display because of permit issues.
'Pinky' the pink donkey has apparently been the restaurant chain's mascot for nearly four years.
So far the restaurant has not issued a statement.
