p'nut (peanut) the squirrel and fred the raccoon were murdered by the new york state department of environmental conservation. these animals were not wild or rabid.

as if coming to kidnap someone's pets wasn't bad enough, the way they went about it was fucking ridiculous. they raided and ransacked mr. longo's house for 5 hours. in that time, the nysdec escorted mr. longo to the bathroom and back, checked the back of the toilet to see if he was hiding anything and wouldn't let him feed or give the other animals in the their care water. the longos were treated like drug traffickers because they had a squirrel and a raccoon.

supposedly when the agents took p'nut he bit one of them. i understand the concern after a bite, HOWEVER:

both of these animals lived with humans. when they weren't in the house in their own separate rooms they were in an enclosure. they were not running through the woods unsupervised. these animals were not coming into contact with animals that were actually wild. an outside farm cat would encounter more wild animals than these two would have.

no one, animal or human, were showing symptoms of any illness.

neither fred nor p'nut were showing symptoms of rabies.

they could have been quarantined and observed for a set amount of time to determine if they had rabies. the person who was supposedly bitten would have been vaccinated after a "wild animal" bite immediately anyway. if they had rabies the treatment would have already started, if they didn't then they would have just been vaccinated against rabies. it would not have killed anyone to wait till quarantine was over before making the decision to end their lives. killing p'nut and fred was not necessary.

fred was a high risk animal, but he wasn't the one that supposedly bit. p'nut wasn't even high risk.

and it was bullshit anyway because the agents raiding the house were in thick protective gloves and the longos never witnessed a bite happen.

some jackasses had reported mr. longo to the dec before about p'nut before fred came to live with them and then reported them about fred. some piece of shit targeted p'nut deliberately, and the authorities used it to raid and ransack the longos' house while:

not wearing their body cameras. (wonder why that is)

asking the longo's if they had security cameras and where they were. (why?)

interrogating mrs. longo over her immigration status. (also, WHY?)

below are links to news articles and a gofundme. the longos are pursuing legal action.

Peanut, the social media star squirrel at the center of a national furor after it was seized from its owner in upstate New York and euthanized, has tested negative for rabies, a county official said Tuesday.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation took the squirrel and a raccoon named Fred on Oct. 30 from Mark Longo’s home and animal sanctuary in rural Pine City, near the Pennsylvania border. The agency said it had received complaints that wildlife was being kept illegally and potentially unsafely, but officials have faced a barrage of criticism for the seizure. Government workers said they have since faced violent threats.

The DEC and the Chemung County officials have said the squirrel and raccoon were euthanized so they could be tested for rabies after Peanut bit a DEC worker involved in the investigation.

Chemung County Executive Chris Moss said tests on the two animals came back negative during a news conference detailing the county’s role in the incident. He said the county worked with the state and followed protocols.

Peanut gained tens of thousands of followers on Instagram, TikTok and other platforms in the more than seven years since Longo took him in after seeing his mother get hit by a car in New York City. Longo has said he was in the process of filing paperwork to get Peanut certified as an educational animal when he was seized.

Longo on Tuesday said the negative test results were no surprise and criticized the government’s actions.

“It’s no real big shocker to me, considering I lived with Peanut for seven-and-a-half years and Fred for five months. I’m not foaming at the mouth,” he said. “I knew the test results were going to be negative.”

The DEC said in a prepared statement there was an internal investigation and that they were reviewing internal policies and procedures.

😡

TL;DR They executed a beloved pet and social media star for literally no reason.

Finally finished Discovery and while I enjoyed the season (and show) overall, and really liked them picking up "The Chase" and running with it (the visuals in the finale in particular were awesome), I have one major gripe

Like one big, huge, unforgivable issue

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO MAH BOY

Stamets! You were bitching about not being some cutting edge super cool scientist anymore HERE IS YOUR CHANCE! Fix up Fred and become a cyberneticist or something fuck man let's go

Or, maybe better. Reno is like "oh yeah I fixed your robot it just needed a stembolt in the axial tecnhobbable he's good to go"

I waited til the last end credits just... Just waiting for them to be like "oh and yeah Fred's alive now he's vibing on Risa" or something like PLZ

Ugh. Now I gotta fix this in post (post as in fanfiction) but I am le tired (ie: already have several stories on the backburner in addition to my main fic)

Out of everything that happened and I have seen last night. This was mesmerizing! This video is captivating and downright beautiful that little Peanut can make such a change and bring people together. He deserves his voice to say how unfair this was and how he was treated. Those two little ones did not deserve this at all in the slightest because some people decided that it was against the rules for them to be happy and live with their loved ones. Honestly, who are we to decide? Everyone please go Support @peanut_the_squirrel12 @pnuts_freedom_farm Let’s all give Mark the support he needs and get laws in place that protect the innocent little ones for generations to come so this type of tragedy and misuse of government funds does not happen again to slaughter little ones. #squirrell #justiceforpeanut #justiceforpeanutandfred #justiceforfred
