For seven years Peanut lived happily with its master, making him famous online. Its performance on Instagram amassed thousands of followers, which was far more than what bitter lonely ladies could hope for. The bitter lonely ladies felt jealous and complained to the authorities that Peanut probably had rabies and this was the reason why it was so cute.
The authorities confiscated the squirrel and put it to death to be tested for rabies. Its heartbroken owner now collects the funds for the legal battle to avenge the death of his beloved pet.
Peanut's death caused public outcry. Even Trump himself and his supporters condemned it, putting the blame on... democrats.
Instagram-famous squirrel euthanized after it was taken from owner's New York state home
Now seriously, while killing innocent animals makes me sad, I can't help feeling that the animal was used instrumentally by its owner to make money. And what are your thoughts about this story?
Do you think that the restrictions on keeping small wild animals at home as pets are too much of the government's intrusion into the citizens' lives?
Wait til they here about us Floridians and alligators…
