P’Nut & Fred Were Marked for Death Before the Raid

P’Nut the Squirrel and Fred the Raccoon did not have rabies; officials announced — as it was revealed the animals were marked for death and decapitation days before the state seized them.

The internet-famous P’Nut and his raccoon pal were taken from an Upstate New York home by force in a raid by state agents on Oct. 30.

“Results are negative,” Chemung County Executive Christopher Moss told The New York Post Tuesday.

According to the New York Post, a newly revealed timeline shows state officials advised the county to euthanize the pets a full seven days before they were taken from their unofficial caretaker, Mark Longo, on Oct. 30 — even though the Department of Environmental Conservation later said the squirrel bit an agent during the raid, sparking the need for the test.

Days later, on Oct. 29, the DEC had laid their plans to raid Longo’s home, but the county’s timeline shows that the DEC was also already coordinating the animals’ euthanizations with Elmira Animal Control—directly contradicting their previous explanation that P’Nut had prompted his own euthanization, the Post said.

P’Nut’s rabies report form did indicate that he “bit wildlife operator” on the thumb — but the timeline indicates that the animals’ deaths were planned before the bite, the Post revealed.

“I’m in utter shock,” Longo told The Post when shown the timeline. “I’d like to give you a proper statement, but for now, I’ll just say, ‘Wow.’”

Longo—who says he still hasn’t received any word from officials about the animals—previously insisted that they were rabies-free.

Cuomo asks Longo about things people say about him on the Internet. He has a sexual life on the Internet, but as he says, it has nothing to do with the animal murders.

GOVERNMENT OVERREACH

The story here is government overreach. A conservation department shouldn’t send ten armed agents into a person’s home to steal and murder animals. There was no warning, no due process, and the execution was pre-planned.

Well you now how Wall Street has a bull statue. Times Square needs a very large statues of Peanut and Fred next to the statue of an aborted fetus to protest the Death of innocence. What will you do if they come for you next?

This is from the same democrat party that fights for the right to kill human babies without any restrictions whatsoever. These harmless rescue animals never had a chance. Never vote for a democrat. Ever.

I’m a boomer. It makes me happy to see the worldwide response to the overreach of these organizations and their callus treatment of someones pet. “The Silent Ones”

“The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over.
The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror.
TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.”

– Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.

It’s astounding, the abuse American citizens tolerate from our elitist ruling class.

Apparently this is official policy. Kill animals, ask questions later.
Who actually authorized this policy?
It likely would be appropriate for bats, but for animals living in the home for a number of years, actual pets, in essentially a wildlife sanctuary, with an animal rescue, it seems to be unnecessarily cruel.
Did someone have an agenda?
I really don’t know what happened, but it seems there is enough information that an investigation should be called for.
Apparently, someone had made some kind of tip-off about the animals in the home. Was this some kind of “swatting”.
