P’Nut can’t rest in peace.
The headless body of the world’s most famous squirrel is currently being held in a refrigerated room somewhere in upstate New York, The Post has learned.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation is preserving it as “evidence” from its agents’ harried November raid on a home in Chemung County, where they seized P’Nut the Squirrel and his raccoon pal, Fred, and then euthanized the beloved pets, according to an agency spokesperson.
Their heads were cut off for rabies testing, which proved neither animal was infected with the deadly disease.
The whereabouts and status of the animals’ actual noggins, meanwhile, are entirely unknown.
A state Department of Health spokesperson refused to confirm the location of their remains or whether the critters had been shipped off to the agency’s Wadsworth Center rabies lab in Slingerlands, citing pending litigation by the animals’ grieving owner, Mark Longo.
Longo had hoped get his pets’ bodies back for a formal burial and funeral.
He said he immediately put in a request for the remains but received only radio silence.
“We filed paperwork for it, and that’s what kind of hurt the most — they didn’t answer to it,” he said.

Have anyone found out who reported P’Nut to the authorities?
Isn’t there a thing in the Constitution about confronting your accusers?
Mrs. Longo’s status was fine; never in question.
“Have anyone found out who reported P’Nut to the authorities?”
That was known early on — maybe a day or two after it happened. It was a Karen in TX who had an online issue with the Longos. A Kamala supporter. When word got out who she was, she was forced to delete her social media because she was being so harassed and criticized.
I saw a jacket shoulder patch of him.
Their behaviour is demented and we have to rule out rabies. Either way the behaviour will come to a breathtaking halt.
When you commit that kind of anti-social behaviour on social media and it blows back on you you should not be allowed to delete your account.
