Officer Shoots Donkey During Missing Child Search | Phoenix News

A police officer in Cedartown is on leave after fatally shooting a beloved family donkey named HeeHaw during a search for a missing 12-year-old. The farm owners say officers entered without permission and that HeeHaw was tased before being shot — the child was found safe shortly after. Devastated by the loss of their cherished pet, who was bottle-raised and a local favorite, they’ve hired an attorney and launched a fundraiser. The Georgia Department of Agriculture is now investigating, with the police chief calling for an outside expert to ensure a thorough review. The officer’s identity remains undisclosed as the case unfolds. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
