I have a sad and genuinely infuriating story...
A little donkey named HeeHaw was sh0t and k*lled... by police... in the middle of the night... on his own family's farm.
His "crime"? He ran up to the officers braying, being a friendly donkey.
This happened in Polk County, Georgia, around 12:45 in the morning.
According to the family that owns Elsberry Riding and Farm, officers came onto their property, into the pasture, searching for a missing person. The family says they did it without permission.
And there was HeeHaw. A small, curious donkey doing what donkeys do. The family says he ran up to the officers braying to greet them.
The family says the officers tried to TASE him first and then one of them sh0t him, and he passed away.
A small donkey trotting up braying is not a threat.
You do not need a taser, and you SURE AS HELL don't need a bullet, for a friendly farm animal, any Southern person knows that.
To their credit, the department is not sweeping it away.
The Cedartown Police Chief launched an investigation and put the officer who fired on administrative leave. GOOD.
And the Sheriff's Office, which wasn't even involved, took the time to send condolences to the family.
HeeHaw wasn't a threat. He was a pet. And he trusted people right up until the end.
Rest easy, HeeHaw. ๐
They, like many of us, were the lucky ones.
