“You took a big part of me, you murdered 2 happy healthy animals then you lied about it. You claimed rabies when in fact, squirrels have never transmitted rabies ever. This was a target. This was an assassination. You brought 12 agents to my home. you spent 5 hours taking apart my life. You killed my animals, and You walked away without a care in the world. Today we stand tall, today we fight back, today we make sure you cant never hurt another animal again.”

Didn’t this happen like a year ago? Do these things normally take this long?

Can we hope for a jury trial in a rural area?

I am on the owners side here, but I don't see how they win. They weren't properly licensed, seems the state was legally allowed to do everything they did.

"Raccoons and squirrels are also considered wild animals, and its is illegal for them to be kept as domestic pets in the state of New York, as per New York Post."

from the linked article in op

He automatically loses, he cannot legally own a squirrel or raccoon in NY.

I hope they win. By the state of NY killing Peanut they killed a major revenue stream for Peanut's owners.

Not familiar with the legal process, huh?

Good for you. Keep it that way.

They sawed his damn head off. Anyone who is cheerleading for the petty tyrants that did this needs their door kicked in for some trumped up charges.

It will also probably get OSHA involved. That dude better hope his safety procedures are squared away.

Why is it illegal to own a wild animal?

Grandad used to love to eat squirrel brains. It’s still not uncommon for country folk to cut the head off squirrels.

What a hypocrite you are! Wanting to abuse the law against those who support following the law. Just how mentally unstable are you?
