Americans outraged after New York state authorities beloved pet squirrel, raccoon

 November 4, 2024

Americans around the nation were outraged after it was revealed that authorities in New York had seized a beloved pet squirrel and raccoon and euthanized them.

Conservatives are demanding justice for Peanut, who was a social media star with over a million TikTok followers, as well as a raccoon named Fred, who were both owned by Mark Longo and his wife, operators of an animal sanctuary in upstate New York.

State authorities descended on the Longos' animal sanctuary and detained the couple as if they were dangerous criminals with Mark Longo stating that he had to ask for a police escort to use the bathroom.

In the end, after the Longos endured their terrifying ordeal, Peanut and Fred were taken by the state and euthanized. News of what had happened quickly spread, with Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr. calling for justice.

Trump Jr. posted on X saying, "It’s time to vote out a government that will kill a pet squirrel but will gladly allow 600,000 criminals with 13,000 murderers & 16,000 rapists knowingly into their country. Maybe P’nuts murder will be the catalyst for real change & awakening as to our govts broken priorities!"

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) and everyone inside the New York state government should be ashamed of themselves. Until every official who was involved in this tragedy is fired, there can be no justice for the Longos and their beloved pets.
