Social media was lit afire with outrage on Saturday over the death of Peanut the squirrel, a pet and online star, at the hands of the New York state government. Even Elon Musk, a strong supporter of former President Donald Trump, condemned the killing.
The pet squirrel was euthanized by the Department of Environmental Conservation after anonymous complaints were lodged against the owner Mark Longo. Another pet belonging to Longo, Fred the raccoon, was also euthanized. Longo said the squirrel was very friendly and docile, but state officials claimed the squirrel bit an officer while they tried to confiscate him. That provided the pretense for his state execution.
“Well internet, you WON,” Longo wrote after the animals were seized. “You took one of the most amazing animals away from me because of your selfishness.”
The incident enflamed critics of state tyranny online, where many memes were cast.
"Government overreach kidnapped an orphan squirrel and executed him," Musk wrote.
So a few Karen's complain and big brother responds by killing the squirrel they were sent to protest. I want a government small enough they do not have time for this foolishness.
