  "account": "Trenton Garner, a newly hired cop at the Cedartown Police Department, has come under scrutiny after he fatally shot a one-year-old donkey named HeeHaw. Garner claims that HeeHaw charged at him and the officers while they were in the petting zoo, following a trail of footprints leading to a missing 12-year-old girl. Garner stated that the donkey continued to charge despite the K-9 handler's attempts to deter it with a Taser. He then fired a single shot from his Glock 17, striking the donkey, which subsequently collapsed and turned around to retreat up the hill. Garner's actions have sparked outrage, as HeeHaw was reportedly a beloved pet raised in his owner Hannah Israel's home and often participated in petting zoos. Israel expressed her grief on social media, calling HeeHaw her \"son\" and demanding justice for her beloved pet.",
