LITTLE ROCK \u2013 (Scroll down for video) — Wildlife officers with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission are investigating a video circulated on Facebook showing a deer being beaten with a textbook. The investigation began after AGFC officers were contacted by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Further investigation by AGFC officers revealed that the video was made in Arkansas by three Georgia males and one female from Arkansas. One of the males has been interviewed by AGFC officers. The officers plan to contact the other three individuals to get statements within the next 24-48 hours.<\/p>\n

The individual seen beating the deer could be charged with a misdemeanor, fined up to $1,000 and receive up to a year in jail under Arkansas\u2019s criminal animal cruelty law. He also could be charged with an AGFC violation of wanton waste of the deer and fined up to $2,500.<\/p>\n
