    Ignoring Musk I don't see how this is any different than the Texas California judge going out of his way to send some girl's pet goat into the slaughterhouse despite protests from every party involved

    Squirrels don't get rabies, it's exceedingly rare for them to survive long enough to become contagious to the point that it's virtually impossible. It was just some excuse for the state and cops to kill a pet owned by a tree hugging wildlife rehabber.

    background info

    In April 2023, Longo and his wife moved from Norfolk to upstate New York to found the P'Nuts Freedom Farm Animal Sanctuary.[2][4] The Longos contribute half of the sanctuary's expenses, most of which was raised through Peanut's social media presence. According to them, the sanctuary had rescued over 300 animals by November 2024.

        The wiki page for Peanut the Squirrel says this

        In October 2024, Peanut was taken, along with a pet raccoon named Fred,[4] from his owner's home in Pine City, New York by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, following anonymous complaints.

        Government officials alleged that after his seizure, Peanut had bitten one of the personnel involved,[5] and the pets were subsequently euthanized which, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, was necessary to test for rabies.[3][6][7][8] Longo said that they were in the process of filing paperwork to have the squirrel certified as an educational animal when Peanut was seized.[4] He later stated that the decision to kill the squirrel "won't go unheard."

        Cop shit sadness-abysmal

        Edit: More context squirrels used to be very common pets in North America, but there was no value for capitalists because you can just befriend one very easily
