Man demands answers after pet squirrel is euthanized by authorities

WTF??? really??

Risk for rabies, really? With all of those videos, exactly what kind of idiot would it take to believe that.

"At risk for rabies" an indoor squirrel. So is every squirrel in every back yard in America although in squirrels it's extremely rare. When people fail to get their dogs and cats vaccinated which happens a lot, vets simply vaccinate, not put down.

It is illegal to keep a wild animal as a pet in the State of New York, yet the owner of Peanut also posts videos on social media advertising that he is in fact keeping a wild squirrel as a pet. Know your state laws and be prepared to suffer the consequences if you do not abide by them.

Democrats love going into your home and taking everything from you. This wouldn't have happened if trump was president.

I think the cops are wary of squirrels since that one cop fired at the car which had the acorns falling on top of it so they're on a rampage, trying to rid the World of squirrels.

He didn’t jump through their wildlife hoops and so they taught him (owner) a lesson.

Monsters! Evil monsters!!!

Funny that it was easier to get a judge to sign a warrant to seize animals than to get a judge to raid most trap houses crazy

Of course it was New York. 🤦‍♀️

Wait wait wait... The Reason Given was "they were at risk of rabies"?! Guess who else is "at risk of rabies"? Every single animal and person on planet earth.

Wow glad I don’t live in USA

They keep the squirrel illegal, but the government keeps animals and do research legally ?

I like to go fishing but the water is so polluted where I live at I can't do that anymore why don't you worry about that you environmentalist and game warden officials worried about where that pollution is coming from coming from

I wanna know who's decision this was to euthanize this mans animals!!! This is a heinous crime

The peaples names that make these complaints should be made public

At risk for rabies? These were domesticated animals in the house. How the heck would they get rabies?

So when squirrels, spiders, bees, mice, rats, snakes and raccoons invade my attic the state will come in an take care of it. Don't have to hire exterminator anymore. What logic is this. Doesn't the state of new york have bigger problems.

Of course they killed the squirrel. These are the same people that want ninth month abortions.. they have no regard for life

Thats must of been a Mexican squirrel and didn't have his passport

Idiot give that's democraps for you

They should make the officers names public since their so proud of the accomplishments of these fine protectors

"Don't you guys have anything better to do than go on squirrel chases?" - My dad (While addressing the topic of Peanut the Squirrel)

Damn what did this squirrel do homie got raided like he was plotting a terror attack😂 damn the US is tripping police state soon?

It could happen to our pets like in China

Justice for peanut!!

Hes a Trumper you can tell. Totally thinks hes in the Right

THANK GOD TRUMP IS PRESIDENT, GET THE WINGNUTS OUT OR GET THEM WORKING ON ACTUAL THINGS TAX PAYERS WANT THEIR MONEY SPENT ON.

Well I wouldn't want any of them crime infested illegals to get rabies. Good job authorities, keeping the law INTACT with common sense.

This INDOOR squirrel was killed for PUBLIC safety...?

Only. Black. Bats. Has. Rubies.

My dog is at risk of rabies, does that mean they should be euthanized too?

Risk for rabbies? Well, the owner could have had rabbis years ago.These pets had not been exposed to other potentially rabied animals. Where's the common sense?

Can you believe that was considered important by the current goverment , hope everyone remembered that when they voted 😢

What the actual f.

Why did they do this! Squirrels can't get rabies! Look it up. I hope you can sue them for this and teach them right from wrong. My heart goes out to you

The great US government.

Government run amok. So sad for everyone.

What a tragic and unfair.
A squirrel? 🐿️
Shame on you

WASTE OF TAX DOLLARS! PEANUT WAS A PART OF THEIR FAMILY FAIRLY. WE DEMAND ANSWERS

This irreversible act is heartbreaking and a serious overstep and injustice by the state. I hope he takes legal action and those responsible are held fully accountable for this tragic and needless loss.

I'm sorry for your loss. Please check your states laws and statutes about keeping wild animals and wild animals that bite.

SUE NOW!!!

Where's PETA?

Absolutely justice for Peanut

The Internet is full of people who are making money on wild animals. You can't have wild animals at home, it's illegal. Go to work.

Lmao meanwhile ppl are getting away with crazy depraved things

This was so out of control, who ever ordered the raid should be fired and sued, I can't believe that things have gotten so out of control, I feel so bad for the family and that poor animal

Horrible!!
