Anonymous complaints about Peanut — also spelled P’Nut or PNUT — brought at least six officers from the state Department of Environmental Conservation to the owner's home.
It’s not for it’s safety, it’s so it doesn’t spread any diseases. It sucks, but it’s not a pet and the guy who captured that poor thing is completely at fault here.
it was an entirely indoor pet, as he had it since it was a baby. he tried releasing it, but the squirrel came back to his porch, injured, and seeking help.
in another thread someone mentioned he had it for 7 years. 7 years of being indoors, rabies was never a concern, and yet they still took him. not to mention the man runs an animal sanctuary, and is no stranger to caring for animals.

cruelty was the point.
As it always is when cops are involved.
Don’t think he had it for seven years.

Peanut had been living with owner Mark Longo for seven years, since Longo said he saw Peanut’s mother get hit by a car in New York City.
literally took 2 minutes to find. glad you are commenting with your feelings though, very constructive.
Nah. The assholes that killed it are.
