Nice video

I heard about this. Disgusting. Another example why people need to keep their mouths shut.

Next time because you are supporting Trump
Are they going to seize your cattle and all your pets

Each and every one involved in the "raid" should be fired. The homeowner should be able to personally sue whoever ordered the raid, and everyone that participated in it.
I wouldn't care if the guy had a pet moose living with him. That's his business.

When they mandate we eat bugs and lab meat, I bet they will come for the chicken, cows, pigs, etc.

I have my opinion of who should have been euthenized here. I hope the victim and animal rights people force this issue. THIS is why people hate the government and want the whole thing torn down. Too many badge heavy pseudo-cop bullies.

I have squirrels and bunnies and quail who live on my property - like millions of Americans. They aren't pets, they just live there in harmony, but the jack boots better bring an army if they want to hurt them. I'm old, life in prison won't last long.

This is somewhat local, western NY. I know people who know these folks personally. The sanctuary farm they run is big, and they’ve done so much good. The city of Elmira added a picture of the squirrel to its billboard, and so many are supporting the sanctuary.
DEC has gotten several bomb threats and at least 4 offices are closed with people now working from home.
Very wrong what happened. I have not read all the details but suspect this is a case of following orders and poor judgement calls.

What a waste, my grandma made the best squirrel dumplings ever!

WOW! A nicely written message there.
It seems like the death of this pet squirrel will be changing at least one law and providing help for many, many animals.
FWIW, I don’t think these people are going to profit from this, the animals will.

No government agency should have the power to do something like this. I've always felt that fish and game departments have been given way too much power.

Me neither. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdj3l1zyj93o

What I took from that is 'someone' reported the keeping of the animal; what was their beef, I wonder?
Certainly helped with their fundraising.

They have had two different people donate $6,000 or more!

Sadly, Peanut's legacy will help animals in the future.

Everything in NY State seems to be pure evil.
