Outrage Erupts Over Euthanization of Internet Sensation P'nut the Squirrel

The Longos claim jealousy led to the raid that resulted in P'nut's death, sparking calls for legislative change.

P'nut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon were euthanized by New York State officials after a raid on the Longos' sanctuary over rabies concerns.
Mark and Daniela Longo attribute the raid to jealousy over their financial success, partly driven by P'nut's online popularity.
The raid has been criticized as government overreach, with some officials and social media users calling for accountability and reform.
A proposed bill, named 'Peanuts Law: Humane Animal Protection Act,' aims to introduce a waiting period and appeal process for sanctuary animals.
A GoFundMe campaign for P'nut has raised significant funds, reflecting widespread public support for the Longos.
