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.

oh! my partner is home now <3 resting and doing alright! i'm having a bit of a day, though, so apologies if my replies are short or anything.

[huh-1260]

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

It saddens me to realize how Peanuts is seen as cutesy and harmless when it started as a savage comic strip dealing with themes of anxiety, existentialism and mundane cruelty

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!

So I was listening to my mom tell a story of how she mistook my grandpa for my dad and ended up in an embarrassing situation and now all I can think of is Fushimi/Yata and Munakata XD

So imagine Yata and Fushimi are dating and everything is going great, he’s hanging with the Blues, he is even getting along with Awashima and the BK (somewhat awkwardly). But for some reason one day, Yata mistakes Munakata for Fushimi and does something romantic ie kisses, touch, words (or worse maybe he decides now is a good time to tease his “BF” by pinching his tush or waist.

Idk what situation would lead to this realistically though, like maybe Munakata ends up in their apartment without his knowledge so he assumes it’s the other inhabitant, or he’s sleeping at Fushimi’s desk, or (true to my moms story) Sarumi is out shopping together and Yata sees Munakata from behind and they’re wearing similar outfits so Yata just assumes. Thank you!

Can you imagine Yata if he kissed Munakata accidentally, he’d have to wash his mouth out with soap immediately XD Imagine Fushimi and Yata are dating and while they share an apartment Fushimi does retain a room in the S4 dorms in case he needs it. One day S4 is dealing with a particularly major issue and Fushimi isn’t able to come home, he’s busy working and probably not getting much sleep. Once the mission is over he’s still at S4 in the office working, trying to get his reports done, and Munakata shows up to tell him to go take a rest. Fushimi clicks his tongue all should you be telling me that, haven’t you been working long hours too Captain and you know you’re not a King anymore. Munakata just smiles pleasantly and says he is fine, but he insists that Fushimi at least go get something to eat. 

Fushimi resists but finally reluctantly allows himself to be moved, he’s going to go get a coffee from the vending machine and he’ll be right back. When he gets back though Munakata is at his desk and has actually fallen asleep by Fushimi’s computer. Fushimi rolls his eyes all and you were telling me to sleep. Since he can’t work he decides to go back to the dorms but maybe he also puts his coat over Munakata, because Munakata’s done that to him before (and he wants to be sure Captain knows that Fushimi saw him sleeping so Fushimi has leverage the next time he wants to argue that he doesn’t need to take a rest). 

Meanwhile Yata is on good terms with the S4 boys and he gets a text from Hidaka about how Fushimi is still awake working on reports and it might be good for someone to come pick him up so he doesn’t overdo things. Yata knows how Fushimi can be so even though it’s late he makes his way to S4. The guys watching the gate know him more or less so they let him go through, figuring Fushimi’s boyfriend came to see him. Yata heads right for the office, even though it’s been a while since Hidaka’s text he figures Fushimi should still be there. The lights are off but there’s a figure sleeping at Fushimi’s desk still, lit up just slightly by the light of the computer screen so that Yata can see Fushimi’s coat draped over them. Yata gives a fond sigh and decides he may as well wake his boyfriend with a kiss and then they can go back to Yata’s place to sleep. 

He walks over and places this gentle kiss on the sleeping figure’s lips and imagine now that he’s closer Yata thinks something is off here. That’s when the lights turn on and he hears Fushimi’s voice all ‘Captain, I need my computer—‘ and the person at Fushimi’s desk stirs all ‘oya….?’. Yata immediately falls back with a cry, Fushimi is standing there in the doorway staring and Munakata is sleepily adjusting his glasses. Fushimi asks what Yata’s going and Yata’s all ‘you—I thought that was— what the hell,’ Munakata seems to have caught on to what happened and just has the most amused look on his face, to think Homra’s Yatagarasu was on such good terms with him after all. Yata realizes who he just kissed and he’s like I think I’m gonna throw up, stumbling past Fushimi towards the bathroom. 

I can kinda see Fushimi being momentarily jealous but once he realizes that it was really a mistake he probably finds Yata’s misfortune funny, like who knew you liked the Blue King so much Misaki. Yata is just locked in the S4 bathroom desperately washing his mouth, it tastes like Blue King this is so gross. Yata doesn’t know how he can even face Fushimi’s clan now, like it is so awkward (and Fushimi’s just like that’s how it always is with Captain, you get used to it). Fushimi grumbles that he doesn’t even look that much like Munakata and Yata’s like he was at your desk wearing your coat and the lighting was bad, how was I supposed to know. Fushimi is at least a little mollified that Yata came to get him, though now he’s pouting that he didn’t get his kiss good morning. Yata’s like I can’t kiss you until I get the Blue King germs out of my mouth, Fushimi clicks his tongue and hands Yata some more mouthwash.

“my-best-friends-ghoulfriend” reposted a bunch of my gifs. Block them immediately and yes I am publicly shaming them because they were super rude when I confronted them. I have ZERO tolerance for this and am furious.

RIP Peanut. 😢 You didn’t deserve to go out that way.

This story hit me hard. Not only did I have friendly squirrels often visiting my yard but today is my mom’s bday and she passed few months ago.

World sucks man.

RIP Peanut 😔 The cruelty of this world knows no bounds.

RIP Peanut - Our pets are mirrors of our souls.
