Entertainment website TMZ.com broke the story over the weekend, and reported the American Donkey and Mule Society "had a visceral reaction to the news." The president of ADMS said the society doesn't "condone use of the animals in such a manner." The episode was set to air last night, but NBC pulled it. The network didn't say why.
