The Plot To Kill Peanut And Fred
New York will forever live in infamy as the state where Peanut The Squirrel and Fred The Raccoon were hauled off and euthanized by the long arm of the state. Now, thanks to Judicial Watch, we come to see that the New York Department of Environmental Conservation planned to murder these pets even before agents seized them at the home of Mark Longo outside Elmira.
Tom Fitton from Judicial Watch sent New York a Freedom of Information Act request, and received back a tranche of documents pertaining to the raid back in October of 2024.
Here, Viva Frei brings us up to date. He earlier tweeted, “It’s not about the pets, not about the squirrel, not about the raccoon. It’s about absolute governmental overreach, the administrative state gone mad, and a government that thinks it can come into the sanctity of your home and destroy your property and murder your pets with impunity.”
