The state government of NY is not comprised of Trumpers. It’s not comprised of Trumpers, in the Department of Environmental Conservation. In fact, if P’Nut had been full on rabid, he would have been the least rabid mammal in a roomful of NYS DEC employees/officials. They are advanced “progressives.” Their political views and late stage rabies are indistinguishable. |

| As predicted Trump put out a statement about the execution of P’nut. |

My college aged son is outraged! He is so upset P’nut was arrested and killed. The DEC said P’nut bit someone there and had to be euthanized. ummmhmmmm. Sure he did. The power of the state used to destroy a man’s pet squirrel. 😵💫 |

| I cannot believe this thread about the outcome of the US presidential election is still talking about Peanut the squirrel. |

It's actually very fitting considering how crazy this election cycle has been. |

A few facts about the Peanut controversy:
The Instagrammer who was keeping Peanut as a pet also has a pet raccoon named Fred. The animal control people who showed up to his home were investigating multiple complaints about Longo regarding his "pets." Longo has an animal sanctuary where he cares for injured animals, and thus is likely aware that keeping wild animals as pets is illegal. I know everyone thinks Peanut was very cute (and he was!) but also ask yourself how you'd feel about a neighbor with a "pet" raccoon. Have you met raccoons? Rabies is really freaking bad (one of many reasons you shouldn't keep wild animals as pets). A rabies outbreak would be really awful and if we had one you'd all be screaming "why wasn't something done??" Well guess how rabies outbreaks are controlled? By euthanizing animals who might have rabies so that they can test for rabies and control the spread. I'm sorry you all got suckered by this Instagrammer who was trying to use a cute wild animal in order to get famous online. But the Peanut story is about an irresponsible citizen who was doing something sketchy and dangerous (and illegal) who ran into predictable legal consequences that he must have known existed. Why didn't Longo just keep these animals at his sanctuary instead of bringing them home as pets? Oh right because then he can't post videos of Peanut in his living room. |

Oh come on. People have been domesticating wild animals for years. The overreach here from the state—especially when they don’t seem to care whatsoever about violence against women—is hard to swallow. |

I’m not kidding when I say I think it’s going to drive voters to Republicans. |

It matters because it exemplifies the pervasive government overreach that has become increasingly common in our society. It's one reason people support Trump. |
