family’s beloved pet donkey was shot and killed by Georgia cops after the tiny ass allegedly confronted them when they ran through his pasture.
Hannah Israel, 30, said officers entered the family’s property in Cedartown — near the Alabama border — without notice at about 12:45 a.m. while chasing a suspect when they came across HeeHaw.
“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,” Israel wrote on Facebook
"HeeHaw was raised in the house and did petting zoos he never knew a stranger,” Israel added. “And was shot and killed in his OWN pasture for doing what donkeys do. Alerting to a stranger.”
A haunting photo taken during the aftermath of the shooting showed Israel crying over the dead donkey, whose eyes remained wide open as it laid on the ground.

Tiny donkey. No threat to anybody.
Target practice. Could be dinner.
HEADLINE: cops shoot mini donkey at 1 AM in the morning on his farm.
I wonder if Peanut the Squirrel welcomed HeeHaw into animal heaven?
Cops keep making bullies of themselves.
Who are you calling ‘Asses’ ?
So upsetting. Were these cops bunch of scared midgets?
I would send the cop to jail for 5 years
Too stupid to wear a badge and carry a firearm.
The county can re-hire them to dig ditches.
I wouldn’t let a beloved pet stay out in a field at night.
That could have been someone’s prize bull. What are they doing on private property known to have livestock on it?
If we go with the original meaning of "terminated", the rest of it become superfluous.
I think you have never had a barnyard pet.
I know that small donkeys like that have been attacked by coyotes and even dogs.
If it was raised in the house and bottle fed, it certainly could have been adapted to some kind of shelter for overnights.
No, in case of wild animal attack.
Typical psyco cop. All have chips on their shoulders. Fire the entire damn department. This is why I NEVER have anything to do with cops.
