PINE CITY, N.Y. (WETM) — A New York Assemblyman from Long Island has proposed an amendment to a New York State Environmental Conservation Law aimed at reforming animal seizure protocols following the euthanization of ‘P’Nut the Squirrel’ after he was taken from his home in Pine City by DEC agents on Wednesday.
Assemblyman Jake Blumencranz of the 15th Assembly District in Long Island announced on Saturday, Nov. 2, a proposal for an amendment called “Peanut’s Law: Humane Animal Protection Act.” This proposed law would amend Section 11-0512 of New York’s Environmental Conservation Law to prevent incidents like what happened to ‘P’Nut the Squirrel’ and ‘Fred the Raccoon.’
Some of the key things this law puts out are among the following:
72-hour waiting period: A mandatory minimum 72-hour pause before euthanizing any sanctuary animal, giving sanctuary operators time to respond, arrange veterinary care, and appeal.
-Emergency appeal rights: A dedicated DEC review board of experts will evaluate appeals within 48 hours, ensuring each case receives immediate attention.
-Clear ‘Immediate Risk’ criteria: Euthanization can only bypass the waiting period if a licensed veterinarian confirms a direct, immediate risk to public safety.
-Transparent reporting: DEC would be required to publish quarterly reports on animal seizures and release testing results within seven days if euthanization occurs.
-Sanctuary recognition: Peanut’s Law defines animal sanctuaries as registered, tax-identified entities, upholding their rights

Guess the heat is getting too warm for them...
Glad to see this!
Laws like this would not be necessary if vindictive, arrogant idiots did not work in the government bureaucracy.
Why is it ever any of the governments business if you want to rescue an animal. Ridiculous. Why can’t they just leave people alone.
Is he up for re-election?
Typical spineless NY RINO nonsense
How about a public hearing about NY’s progressive-left descent into FASCISM and naming, shaming, and firing of everyone involved?
Exactly!
They murdered little Peanut.
Government siezes, and euthanizes a squirrel and a raccoon, the response is to pass another law. Surely that will solve the problem.
This translates in real life to only 24 hours or less. They take away pet on a Friday night. Most vets and techs don't work weekends. This leaves Monday only. Then there's the headache of trying to explain the situation.
SAY HIS NAME!
Who reported the little critter in the first place? How did it all start?
Because this is the EMPIRE State, Princess Kathy Hochul is Dear Weeder, and she is omnipotent at this juncture. Do NOT make “The Chamber” Mad...They will kill your pets.
And NYS GOP is an acronymic oxymoron.
Defund the fund that paid for the dozen officers that held and harassed those people for hours. Name the judge that signed off on the raid and search.
The Tyrants were “just practicing” for the day when they can seize and euthanize troublesome peasants.
Those same idiots have let MILLIONS of HUMANS from all over in without ANY MEDICAL EXAMS.....
AND his buddy-—Fred the raccoon.
