A Cedartown police officer shot and killed a baby donkey named HeeHaw during a search for a missing child, which concluded with the child being found at a nearby church. The incident has drawn public outrage, with the donkey's owner, Hannah Israel, claiming officers entered her pasture without permission. She stated, “They claimed he ran up to them braying and they thought they were in danger and shot and killed him after trying to taze him,” and has since hired a lawyer. The officer involved has been placed on paid administrative leave as the Georgia Department of Agriculture investigates the shooting. Chief Jamie Newsome expressed condolences, stating, “I ask everyone to join us in prayer for everyone who has been impacted by this tragic event.”1
