Georgia cop kills beloved pet donkey in his own pasture as heartbroken owner demands justice: 'We miss him'

A Georgia police officer shot and killed a family's beloved pet donkey after officers searched the animal’s pasture in search of a missing child who was later found at a nearby church.

Hannah Israel, 30, said officers entered her family’s property in Rockmart, Polk County without warning at about 12:45 a.m. on Sunday while looking for the missing child when they noticed the baby donkey named 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 shot and killed in his OWN pasture for doing what donkeys do.

Alerting to a stranger.

There is no way this is legal!" She vowed to take legal action as she demanded justice for HeeHaw.

He was my SON!!" she wrote.

"We miss him so much where is safe?? When my own baby was shot in his own home?" she added in another post.

A photo taken after the shooting showed Israel crying over her pet donkey, as the animal's eyes remained wide open as it lay lifeless on the ground.

"He would normally be standing right over there talking while I'm talking because he thought he could talk like a person could talk," Israel told 11Alive.

"Every time he saw somebody, he would run up and bray," Israel said.

"And then do a really goofy sound, and because he loved people, and he thought he was a person.

He slept in my bed for the first three months of his life," she added.
