Tech Titan Elon Musk Ignites Social Media Storm Over Peanut the Squirrel’s Death at Hands of New York Government
New York Sun ^ | Nov 2, 2024 | PERRY CHIARAMONTE

Posted on 11/02/2024 5:26:07 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Elon Musk expressed outrage on his social media platform X Saturday over news that rescue pet and internet sensation Peanut the Squirrel was seized from his owner’s home and euthanized by state officials in New York.

The SpaceX and Tesla founder fired off a barrage of posts expressing his disdain for officials with the New York Department of Environmental Conservation taking the Instagram-famous Peanut, along with another rescue animal, away from owner Mark Longo’s home and animal sanctuary near the Pennsylvania border. The state then inexplicable euthanized the docile and trained animals so they could be “tested for rabies.”

And I would not be surprised at this point if they falsely state that one of the animals had rabies. That would make life so much easier for them.

Elon Musk is right. The New York government is pigs. Dirty rotten pigs.

Some people have posted the squirrel allegedly bit a person.

It is not beyond the scope of reason to test the animal for rabies. It is my understanding (from years ago) that rabies vaccine is expensive & somewhat painful and advanced rabies incurable.

“The New York government is pigs. Dirty rotten pigs.”

As a former resident of New York State, I know New York government to be infested with Napoleonic swine.

The New York Gestapo could have swabbed Peanut’s stomach and tested the sample for rabies, they DIDN’T have to kill him.

That is an insult to 4-hoofed pigs everywhere. Not even real pigs would stoop that low.

The Establishment has practice in euthanizing the innocent. Usually before removing them from their residence. And promoting the perversion of others.

bogus. anytime an animal bites it gets QUARANTINED for 10 days to watch for symptoms. It does NOT get killed

They should have left Peanut alone. Didn’t they have anything else to do with all the crap going on in NYC?
We have squirrels all over the place because my wife feeds them peanuts every day. My job is to clean up the peanut shells! The raccoons eat them too.
Animals are good for people. People with animals are usually happier and live longer.

I knew I adored Musk. Anyone who protects animals is my kind of person.

I have not heard that yet. The squirrel was purely an inside pet. Never went outside. So if they say that then they are lying.

the Nazi fascists broke in by threat of force, turned the home upside down in a five hour search (for what?) and then murdered the squirrel

Musk is correct, this is totally UNACCEPTABLE even in an OFFICIAL police state!

I would be so upset if I were the owners that I’d be truly puking and inconsolable. I can’t believe there are people like this living among us in polite society. They need to leave their bodies to science to be tested for some defective gene. It’s really unthinkable someone would do this.
