Appears you have some of the same rocket scientists in NY as we have in Toronto.

This statement is something else. They were raided and the squirrel euthanized because he was in an "unsafe environment". So being put to death is a safer environment? What kind of morons do you have working for the municipality in New York? Drones with oatmeal for brains it seems:



The owners of P’Nut the Squirrel are reportedly seeking $10million in damages from the State of New York after the social media star was euthanized last year.

Peanut, also known as P'nut, and a raccoon named Fred, lived at a New York sanctuary run by Mark Longo and Daniela Bittner at their home in Southport, Chemung County.

Both animals were executed after local and state officials took them away in a raid last year.

The couple has filed a lawsuit in the New York Court of Claims, arguing that the execution of their pets was a “senseless act of violence” and “obscene demonstration of government abuse,” according to court documents obtained by the New York Post.

In October last year, the Department of Environmental Conservation raided the couple’s home to seize Peanut and Fred. According to the agency, they had received several complaints about illegally keeping animals in an unsafe environment.

    New York Consolidated Laws, Environmental Conservation Law

    Jan 1, 2024 · New York Consolidated Laws, Environmental Conservation Law - ENV § 11-0512. Possession, sale, barter, transfer, exchange and import of wild animals as pets prohibited. …
 
I really doubt they would win much if anything at all. Their best argument is the fact that the animals were rounded up under claims that it was an unsafe environment yet the state euthanized them instead of releasing them somewhere safe and proper.
 
Lol when I was young, probably 6 or 7 I had a pet raccoon. Found it after a storm and raised it. He was a little asshole but fun. I guess one day he decided it was time to be a wild raccoon and ran off

What a stupid story. I hope this idiotic law suit is tossed.
