'HIGHLY DISTURBING': Authorities are looking for the person who shot and killed this burro with an arrow.
"This is highly disturbing that someone would purposely harm a defenseless animal and cause its death," Animal Services Director Erin Gettis said in a statement.
Now considered evidence, the arrow was handed off to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department in the hopes that fingerprints or other information can be collected. If the shooter is found, Gettis said they plan to pursue felony animal cruelty charges. "We're certain that someone willfully shot this burro with the intent in killing it," Animal Services Commander Josh Sisler said."The burro was struck in a very vulnerable area and its force was so strong it punctured through to the opposite side of the burro."
