Strap in. It's short but weird.

Some influencer had a pet squirrel named peanut or pnut. He posted tiktoks or insta of the squirrel and had a decent chud-o-sphere following. He also used these videos to direct attention to his onlyfans, which is relevant later, i'm not mentioning it to shame him for sex work.

So, some New York State animal control finds out and they raid the guy's house to seize the squirrel. Turns out Pnut was a deep cover secret comrade all along and bites the shit out of a cop. Standard ropoceedure when someone is bitten by a wild animal is to euthanize the animal so it's brain can be tested for rabies. Time is extremely important with rabies. Once symptoms begin you're dead so animal bites should be taken seriously.

The chuds find out that Pnut was murdered by state overwatch and he becomes a rallying cry for them. I think Trump or Elon mentioned it. They have a minor conflict because the guy has an onlyfans but Peanut remains very popular.

I think that's the story to date.

I understand the guy also had a raccoon that was similarly put down to test for rabies. Don't know if it managed to bite a cop, but I would like to think of the raccoon and squirrel fighting cops side by side.

Pretty substantial escalation after their previous pie heists.

They euthanized a popular sex worker's pet after it visciously attacked authorities and ruined local ecosystems
