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.

I just remembered I had dead Links for a reason

Sooo dead old man Wind and killed to early Twilight

I already have a set death for Wind but I'm working on one for Twilight, not sure if he should die as Wolfie as a accident or a unjust death (or just maybe to Dark Nuts)

Yes I took a picture on my wooden step stool, the room had better lighting or so I thought it did

May I request the math scene? I want to inflict math on Time :)

Poor Time. He had a reasonable education, and would normally be okay with helping, but then they had to go and switch up math on him... just wait until he realizes he’ll have to help Hyrule with his schoolwork too.

“...Okay, so then you divide here where the sixteen is—”

“No no, Dad, that’s not how you’re supposed to do it,” Wind said as he looked at his father’s scribbling, turning his math book around and pointing at the page. “They want us to do it like this.”

Time stared at the problems in front of him for what felt like the hundredth time, frustration building as a headache behind his eyes. He’d scraped by when he’d been in school, but the math hadn’t been like this, and he didn’t even recognize some of these symbols...

“Why do they want you to do it like that? It makes no sense,” Time said with a disbelieving look, and Wind shrugged.

“I don’t know. Nobody tells me anything. But the teacher said we’re supposed to do it like this.”

“Well I don’t know this way,” Time said, giving the math book a glare with both eyes. “Why would they change math?!”

“Dad, it’s okay,” Wind tried to interject, but Time had lost his patience with the math book.

“Last I checked, math was math!” he growled, jabbing a finger at the book, “MATH IS MATH!”

Wind gave him a concerned look.

“...You know Dad, I’ll just wait for Mom to come back, it’s fine,” Wind said quickly, and Time wrestled down his frustration with a sigh, rubbing the bridge of his nose as he sat back down.

“She won’t understand it any better than I do,” he grumbled.

You would not believe how difficult it is this time of year to find mallowcreme pumpkins and candy corn for your family’s autumn trail mix that you make to snack on during Thanksgiving. The candy bins at the home improvement store never let me down, though.

Happy Thanksgiving, Jellybeans, to all celebrate!
