Beloved pet squirrel Peanut seized by New York state after 7 years in home
Briefly

'Well internet, you WON,' the caption from account Peanut_The_Squirrel12 reads. 'You took one of the most amazing animals away from me because of your selfishness. To the group of people who called DEC, there's a special place in hell for you.'
The DEC said that the animals were seized in coordination with Chemung County Health department 'due to the presence of a rabies vector species (raccoon) in the home.'
Longo took in Peanut seven years ago, when he was just a kit, after seeing its mother get hit by a car, according to social media accounts.
'Last year we moved to NY in hopes of starting a NONPROFIT animal rescue in PNUT's Name. [P'Nuts Freedom Farm] will forever live in PNUT's memory,' Longo wrote in the post announcing Peanut's seizure.
