😢 Peanut and the raccoon have been euthanized, causing immense grief. Peanut was the cornerstone of our nonprofit animal rescue.
🚨 10 to 12 DEC officers raided my house, treating me like a criminal. I was not allowed to feed my rescue horses and had to wait outside for 5 hours with a police escort to use the bathroom.
🔍 They obtained a search warrant for a squirrel and a raccoon, despite Peanut being a well-known indoor squirrel for 7 years without any complaints. He was famous on TikTok, being the first squirrel to reach 1 million followers.
📞 I found out about Peanut's euthanization through a news station, not from the DEC. They did not inform me directly.
💔 The state is wasting taxpayer dollars on this situation, which was based on anonymous complaints. Peanut had never harmed anyone, and the claims were unfounded.
⚖️ Legal action is being considered. This incident highlights the misuse of state resources and power against a family and nonprofit that helps animals.
💰 Our nonprofit, Peanut's Freedom Farm, is now in jeopardy. We rely on Peanut's social media for funding, and without it, we struggle to support over 300 animals at our sanctuary.
