Apparently was a squirrel that became prominent on social media (which someone was keeping as a pet). Squirrel was seized by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and euthanized, presumably because it was a squirrel that was being unlawfully owned in New York state?

The response to a pet being 'unlawfully owned' (accepting the absurd premise that you need someone's permission to befriend a squirrel) is to kill it?

Aaaay, I'm euthenizing over here!

Yeah, I don't get it either

Seems it would've been easier and more humane for that department to just hand it over to a wildlife rehab facility, all other things the same?

They took it from a wildlife rehab facility, he wasn’t just some dude with a squirrel, he was opening a wildlife rehab center

I think there was something having to do with rabies?

[-] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago

Apparently they euthanised both the squirrel and a raccoon that the guy also owned because the squirrel bit one of the cops and they wanted to test the animals for rabies (which I guess can only be done posthumously?)

99% chance the cops lied about being bit to kill it

Murderpig lying about something so they have the chance to kill? Say it ain't so

There's no accurate rabies tests except for brain biopsies
