Exclusive | Peanut the Squirrel's grieving owner says he was treated like a 'terrorist' in 5-hour raid by NY state
Briefly

Longo stated, "They treated me like a terrorist. They treated this raid as if I was a drug dealer. They ransacked my house for five hours."
Longo lamented, "They asked my wife, who is of German descent, what her immigration status was. They wouldn't allow me to go to the bathroom without a police escort."
The state claimed it had to euthanize both animals so that they could be tested for rabies after Peanut bit an official during the raid.
"We rehabbed him for eight months, we released him for a day and a half, but he ended up getting attacked. He never developed the instincts to survive outside," Longo explained.
