Dem-o-rats hate you and your pets.

Classic “we’re from the government and we are here to help” moment.

If you’ve got something nice, don’t put it on the computer. Maybe feel free to write about it and share a picture or two but certainly never video. You just put the target on your back, and for what? Internet notoriety?

Hard not to feel bad for this guy.

Squirrels? Got no deal with them!

This is going to hurt Dem-o-rats to some degree. You can carpet bomb children in Gaza and most Americans will shrug it off, but murder a squirrel and people are going to be outraged.

The pet angle is what gives the story its bite amongst Americans but at its core what makes this scary is that its yet another exhibit of a seemingly benign and powerless state-level bureaucracy arbitrarily deciding to break into this guy’s house and cause him distress for seemingly no reason. People want to believe that if they keep their heads down this kind of thing won’t happen. That there are bigger fish to fry and they can stay under the radar.

The reality is a bit more muddled. I don’t think people quite understand what they are up against and the types of people who constitute these agencies. They are ugly people with bad motives and they want you to at least be afraid of them. Some of them want to hurt people and use their office to do it.

Democrats like making things nutless. You really have to wonder what their motivation is. I would agree with the government that you don't want everyone to be taking in wild animals as pets. However if someone runs a Farm Animal Sanctuary, the animal has not exhibited signs of rabies for 7 years, and was in the process of filing paperwork to get the animal certified as an educational animal it's pretty wild that they'd seize it and kill it so quickly. Why not just kill all the animals there?

Coupled with how big of a mess NY is, as if they don't have larger problems, it's pretty shitty. But Democrats are going to Democrat.

I don't live there any more but New York was likely my favorite place I have lived. I didn't have a pet raccoon though.

More pets for RFK to eat.

I could never live there, but NYC is a fantastic place. Amazing amounts of energy and great restaurants.

There is something to be said that an illegal immigrant can rape half the women in town and the democrats will drive him around to vote at every polling station within a hundred miles. Meanwhile this old white queer has a pet squirrel and they kill it just to fuck with him and send a message.

Facts.

I think he was a young white queer but that’s just splitting hairs.

I get this is another "my liberty is being taken away" thing but it should be illegal to have a pet raccoon.

A Pet Is Not Illegal!

I am glad we have entire branches of government dedicated to hunting down and eliminating this scourge. Thank god we solved all the other problems in the country.

Counterpoint: there’s a guy making $220k in rural NY whose job is to use the power of the government to murder pet squirrels.

That’s pretty good work if you can get it.

He was being facetious.

Not as much as squirrels do!

The raccoon was found a few months ago. They were rehabbing it and going to release it.

It looks like they been involved with this type of thing for over 20 years. I'd assume they had some sort of vet that they worked with.

Rats are sick and twisted people.

Killing the squirrel was wrong.
