"Despite the fact that rabies testing typically yields results within 24 to 72 hours, weeks have passed without any public updates. "

Also:

“Court records reveal that DEC Investigator Joshua Crain obtained a search warrant for the animals, citing potential illegal housing of a squirrel and raccoon. Notably, the warrant made no mention of rabies concerns. “

Squirrels to not carry rabies.

The police state relies on a legion of petty bureaucrats willing to impose the will of the government. The Germans needed someone to service the trains and the crematoria you know. Officer Crain is one of those

The injured agent? What about the squirrel?

We had honest citizens allegedly held at gunpoint by a SWAT team for five hours and their house ransacked based on an anonymous complaint about a pet violation. This isn’t about squirrels.

I’m guessing that the execution of P’nut probably gave us at least 100k more votes.

Squirrels don’t get rabbits unless bitten by an animal with rabies. This pet had been isolated for 7 years inside.

If it DID have rabies, it wouldn’t transmit to humans or other animals. All easy info to find online.

These NY government thugs should have done their research before fabricating a lie so easily refuted.
