A family in Georgia is outraged after a Georgia police officer shot and killed their baby donkey named ‘HeeHaw’.
According to the donkey’s owner Hannah Israel, Georgia police entered her family’s pasture and killed HeeHaw after they perceived him as a threat.
In a post on Facebook Israel wrote, “At 12:45am cops entered my pasture searching for a missing person WITHOUT permission or warning and shot and killed my bottle raised BABY donkey.”
She added, “HeeHaw was raised in the house and did petting zoos he never knew a stranger. And was shot and killed in his OWN pasture for doing what donkeys do. Alerting to a stranger. There is no way this is legal! I will be taking legal action.”
Police entered on Israel’s pasture as they were searching for a missing child.
The Cedartown Police Department in Georgia has since placed an officer on leave and is investigating the shooting.
