Less than a week after a pet donkey was shot and killed , the Barrow County Sheriff's Office investigated another animal-related incident.

According to the incident report dated Feb. 19, a Winder-area man called the sheriff's office because he thought a dead deer he found alongside Groveland Drive "may have been used in some sort of satanic ritual."

The deer was missing eyes and feet and there was a "large hole in the rectal area," the man reported.
