Peanut the squirrel’s seizure and euthanization by New York state authorities has sparked blowback from former President Donald Trump’s running mate and various public figures, with the deceased pet now serving as the inspiration for a new law intended to improve animal rights.

Mark Longo and his wife, Daniela, are the former owners of the online celebrity squirrel Peanut and a raccoon named Fred. The New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) removed the two animals from the couple's residence on Oct. 30 after receiving a complaint about someone illegally keeping wildlife as pets.

As WENY News reported, the couple didn't learn of their pets’ fate until the DEC and Chemung County Department of Health announced in a Friday statement that the two animals were euthanized to test for rabies. The statement also claimed that the squirrelbit one of the officials involved with the investigation, a claim Mark has trouble believing.

Continued below.

Why stop with Peanut and Fred? They better euthanize all of the wildlife in NY to test for rabies. No one will be safe until that happens.
As an animal lover, I find healthy animals being killed sad.

(of course, I eat meat, and make exceptions for chicken, beef, pork, fish etc)

(as long as they are killed HUMANELY)
