A shameful execution

The NY Post reports:

P’nut the Squirrel, of internet fame, has been euthanized after the pet was seized by New York state earlier this week, according to the Department of Environmental Conservation.

The seven-year-old gray rescue squirrel, commonly referred to as “P’Nut” on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, was put to death, along with Fred the raccoon, so that the animals could be tested for the presence of rabies, according to a statement from the agency obtained by WETM.  

He had the squirrel as a pet for seven years. The government raided his house, searched it for five hours, and then killed P’Nut. All because of an anonymous complaint from someone in Texas.

This is why we should be wary of giving too much power to governments.
