Georgia Officer Shoots Miniature Donkey During Night Search for Missing Child
In Cedartown, Georgia, a police officer shot and killed HeeHaw, a beloved miniature donkey, during a nighttime search for a missing child; the officer's identity has not been released and the case has been turned over to the Georgia Department of Agriculture Law Enforcement Division, with the officer on paid administrative leave. The child was later found at a church near the pasture where the donkey was killed, and bodycam footage exists but officials will not comment on it during the investigation. The farm's owner and local community have expressed heartbreak and anger, and a GoFundMe for legal costs was started and then closed as representation was secured.
