Peanut the Squirrel’s grieving owner says he was treated like a ‘terrorist’ in 5-hour raid by NY state
NY Post ^ | Nov 2, 2024 | Angela Barbuti

An upstate man whose beloved squirrel was cruelly killed by the state said he was treated like a “terrorist” when 10 government agents descended on his home during a five-hour raid.

Mark Longo, whose pet Peanut captured the hearts of 3 million social media users, was stunned when a convoy of vehicles carrying officials from the state departments of Environmental Conservation and Health arrived at his Pine City home Wednesday.

“They treated me like I was a terrorist. They treated this raid as if I was a drug dealer. They ransacked my house for five hours,” Longo told The Post Saturday.

“They asked my wife, who is of German descent, what her immigration status was. They asked if I had cameras in my house. They wouldn’t allow me to go to the bathroom without a police escort, who then checked the back of the toilet to see if I was hiding anything there.”

I just watched a video clip of the little guy on X and he was a sweet little guy that loved his owner. What’s our Country coming to?

WTF? A full blown raid?! For harboring wildlife?!

How about ask the owner to surrender Peanut. It’s not like they didn’t have VIDEO EVIDENCE that he was in the house?!

THEN and ONLY THEN, if he refused to turn Peanut over then you can bring in the swat team.

This is not policing. This is not enforcing the law.

THIS IS DOMESTIC TERRORISM.

You just know that Trumps' people are working on a squirrel troll operation as we speak.
